The MMM Zambia Vocational Training Centre was established in Ndola in
1998.
The aim of the centre is to provide young people with skills enabling
them to be gainfully employed and able to provide for themselves and
their families.
HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis are major killers in Zambia
resulting in many families being decimated by these diseases, thus
making such training and support imperative.
Currently two year VTC courses are provided in Bricklaying and
Carpentry and one year course in Tailoring and Construction Management.
The Construction Management course is open to past graduates and the
purpose is to train construction supervisors and project foremen.
The total number of graduates from full-time and short courses since
inception now exceeds 700. On commencing their course, the Bricklaying
and Carpentry students receive a basic kit of tools. On completion of
their course, they take their tools with them as they seek employment
or commence their own business. Most are still employed or running
their own business.
