MUTARE Polytechnic has embarked on an Integrated Skills Expansion Outreach Programme (ISEOP) in Chipinge.
The programme is aimed at empowering individuals to promote self empowerment and entrepreneurship.
Chipinge Town Council has since allocated 15 hectares of land for the construction of an industrial training college by Mutare Polytechnic.
As they await the construction of the new college, training will be taking place at St Kelvin High School in Chipinge.
The training programmes will benefit the Chipinge community.
“Instead of them travelling to Mutare for training, training has been brought to their doorstep in Chipinge. We are starting with short courses and enrolment for conventional courses will begin in 2024. Enrolment for the short courses is in progress,” said Mutare Polytechnic principal, Ms Watema Poniso.
A Chipinge resident, Ms Tsitsi Mhenga said: “We are very happy that we can now access skills training our town as there were no skills training institutions in Chipinge. We are grateful to Mutare Polytechnic for such a noble idea.”
