Overview
Education and training are one of the essential driving forces for a country’s economic, social and cultural development. As an essential and vital component of education, A/TVET plays a significant role in the social and economic transformation of the country and the society at large. It equips trainees with the technical and entrepreneurial skills which can help them to join the world of work.
The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has been making strides towards transforming the national economy from predominantly agricultural to industrialized economy.
