Dean's Message
On behalf of Mizan Agricultural TVET College, I welcome all the key stakeholders and partners to work on this subsistent livelihood option, agriculture, of the majority of our community. The college, since its establishment, is working to train students in input based, and outcome based programs expecting agricultural extension service delivery facilitated by this level based graduates.
In addition, research, project and community service activities are being undertaken in collaboration with zonal, regional and national partners. Promising outcomes from this intervention are witnessing that our farmers' agricultural productivity could be enhanced with integrating science and their own indigenous knowledge. To this end, the college is working with high caliber to strengthen the link between the farmers so that qualified staff of the college work on the production barriers of the farmers.
Therefore, the college welcomes all potential scholars, private companies, non-government organizations, research institutions and any development partners to work in collaboration for this common goal of training quality and enhancing farmers’ livelihood options through technology-driven approach and scientific research intervention.

Dean of Mizan Agricultural TVET College
