Technical skill upgrading

In order to increase the technical skills of local small and medium construction related enterprises/cooperatives, which are often insufficient, and for the purpose of safeguarding a timely and quality-wise satisfactory implementation of the sub-contracts as well as to qualify for sub-contracting, a series of technical skill upgrading activities will be conducted.

German master craftsmen and foremen will train national skill up-grader for each of the six major trades (such as: masonry, concrete work, plumbing, electricity, metal and wood works) on each of the 15 sites.
Consequently, German and national Skill up-grader, will then train skilled and semi-skilled workers of local and regional enterprises in their respective trade on all sites and prepare them to pass respective examination.

These activities will as well involve a significant number of TVET colleges, their graduates and students on UCBP sites.

In UCBP, the enhancement of the technical skills of sub-contracted local
enterprises/cooperatives and of SMEs with a potential to be subcontracted is a major priority.

Technical skill-upgrading will enable the local enterprises to perform more effective and efficient – to produce better quality, timely and with competitive price.
