The
Yaba College of Technology, UNESCO-UNEVOC Center Team paid a courtesy visit to
the Executive Secretary of Lagos State Technical and Vocational Education Board
(LASTVEB) at his Ikeja GRA office on Tuesday 18th of March 2014.
It
was an opportunity to discuss TVET (technical and vocational education and
training) in Nigeria and these two organizations deliberated on several areas
of collaboration and networking. The LASTVEB Executive Secretary, Engr.
Olawunmi Gasper, opened up on several projects his organization is carrying out
and conceptualizing.
The
resolve that technical and vocational education leads to entrepreneurship for a
large percentage of the populace serves as the impetus for the Lagos State
Government to invest in various projects through the LASTVEB initiative.
Some of the projects already started by LASTVEB include:
·
Two (organic and sustainable)
Agric farms
·
An electronic training
center in conjunction with Samsung Nigeria
·
Technical Apprenticeship
Training for youths of the state
·
The Enterprise Day to
mention just a few
From
the UNEVOC Center perspective, several of the projects cut into our vision at
the College and ways of collaborating on both existing and future programmes
were successfully discussed.
