Lubango — Three pavilions of arts and crafts will be inaugurated on Tuesday and Wednesday in Chicomba, Matala and Kuvango districts, by Huila Province governor, Francisco José Ramos da Cruz, in the ambit of the government programme aimed at diversifying youths' training choices.
The infrastructures, built from afresh last year, comprise each one of them three rooms to host 15 students in each class, in the courses of carpentry, ironwork, sewing, electricity, civil construction, agriculture, and cattle-breeding.
Financed by the central government, the undertakings are part of a programme aimed at diversifying training options and increase the offer of institutions of this kind, in order to combat unemployment.
With the inauguration of the pavilions, Huíla Province will have 25 professional training centres, among state-owned and private ones, all of them located in the capital Lubango City.
In 2007 about 1,500 youths were trained, of whom 1,122 have already been integrated in the job market.
For this school year, 192 students were enrolled in the only state-owned professional training centre and 240 in private centres, in the specialities of ironwork, civil construction, carpentry, electricity, and shoemaking.
