ZAMBIA NATIONAL SERVICE STARTS CONSTRUCTING COMPETITION ARENA FOR WORLDSKILLS AFRICA

The Zambia National Service (ZNS) has started constructing the competition arena for the World Skills Africa Competition which Zambia will host in Livingstone in April 2025.

ZNS is constructing the multi-purpose arena which will host 13 out of the 20 skills competitions which over one thousand youths from 54 African countries will compete for from 7 to 12 April 2024 at the Livingstone Institute of Business and Engineering Studies (LIBES).

Technology and Science Minister Hon. Felix Mutati, who was represented at the ground breaking ceremony in Livingstone this morning by Tourism Minister Hon. Rodney Sikumba, diisclosed that ZNS will build the competition arena at the cost of 44 million kwacha.

Mr. Mutati said the competition arena will include a lounge, a secretariat for World Skills and a media area for photographers to have panoramic views of the competition.

"ZNS has six months to build and hand over this competition arena and we are hopeful they will deliver it on schedule," said Mr. Mutati.

And Technical Education and Vocational Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA) Director General Cleophas Takaiza says a number of Zambian youths will next week be sent to China to sharpen their skills ahead of the World Skills Africa Competition next year.

Mr. Takaiza, who is also the World Skills Official Delegate for Zambia, says hosting the world skills event gives an opportunity to Zambian youths to develop their skills.

He says hosting the competition in Livingstone will also give an advantage to Zambia as a potential candidate to host the World Skills Secretariat which is yet to be established.

"LIBES will not be the same after the World Skills Africa Competition. There will be new infrastructure here and new skills among youths," he said.

And LIBES Principal Ignatius Lubinda said the construction of the competition arena will benefit the college in infrastructure development.

Mr. Mr. Lubinda said the institute will support ZNS so that the works are speeded up and completed on schedule.

Trades training institutes in K150 million facelift investment.
..as WorldSkills Africa competition preps advance.

Minister of Technology and Science Hon. Felix Mutati said this year, the Government was investing K150 million to upgrade training facilities and equipment acquisition for trades training institutes.

And the Minister said preparations to host the inaugural WorldSkills Africa (WSA) Competition next year advances.

The Minister disclosed that K80 million will be invested in upgrading trades training institutes' facilities across the country to modern standards while K70 million will go towards the acquisition of new equipment in priority programmes in Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training (TEVET).

Mr. Mutati was speaking during a business breakfast hosted by Zambia National Commercial Bank (ZANACO) at this year's Copperbelt Agricultural Mining Industrial Networking Enterprise (CAMINEX).

"The government is investing such an amount of money to ensure youths acquire relevant skills to effectively apply themselves as entrepreneurs or in the industry. Upgrading of the trades training institutes is meant to ensure youth acquired practical competences that increased their employability and entrepreneurial abilities to sustainably manage enterprises. We need the right skills for competitiveness."

Highlighting the progress made towards the hosting of the WSA 2025, Mr. Mutati urged mining industry players to support the continental competition as a way of giving an opportunity to youths to sharpen their skills ahead of many opportunities in their lives. "We need to offer the youths a chance to sharpen their skills through this competition in line with the 21st century skills needs and our national aspirations.

WSA is one of the initiatives in developing relevant skills for job and wealth creation.

The platform raises the profile and recognition of skilled people and inspires young people to pursue careers in various trades and occupations for better employability and competitiveness.

It is also a vital enabler for building capacity for education and skills development.

With the more than 60-70% of the Zambian population being youths, the continent is leveraging the youthful population demographic dividend by up-skilling these young people for employability and entrepreneurship in line with the African Union Agenda 2063.

At national level, WorldSkills Africa Competition next year is of great benefit to achieving the Vision 2030 ambitions because it provides the necessary platform for the revitalisation and improvement in education and skills.
