He explained that the training center was established with five schools each providing practical and theoretical training on four disciplines and that this year the training program has been extended by two years giving special emphasis to practical training.

Mr. Tesfalidet further stated that the students have been given orientation regarding the activities of the school in order to help them identify their inclination and pursue the right discipline, and as a result the interest of students is growing with more female participating in heavy machinery.

He also noted that infrastructure renovation is being made at the center for better service provision and that the newly imported modern machineries are involved in the process.
