Vocational Training Centre in Wamba-Luadi
Number: 197.1809
The craft school at Wamba-Luadi offers three-year training courses that provide a solid vocational grounding in carpentry and construction skills. This is a government-recognised training institution with its own workshops and accommodation for the students and teaching staff. Thanks to their training at the Craft School, young men and women benefit from good chances on the labour market. This project encourages them to earn their own livelihoods by presenting each apprentice with a complete set of hand tools on graduation. With the help of this start-up support, most students have no problems in setting up their own workshops in their villages or in joining a craft collective.
