Upon arrival, the minister first visited some of the stalls by students from the TVET institutions.

In his address, the minister indicated how there is a need to promote technical and vocational training so as to produce a workforce that is skilled, innovative, and ready to challenge the hardships of a dynamic and competitive global economy, indicating the implications of a TVET system that is employer-led.

He described the exhibition as a demonstration that investment in relevant education and training is sowing the prosperity of the country. He hence called upon the employers to be compliant with the system.
