More than 100 young Ethiopians on Monday successfully graduated from a China-supported training program aimed at empowering locals through a comprehensive and systematic talent development framework.
The one-month capacity-building program, dubbed “Seagull Talent Nurturing Project,” is an initiative of the China First Highway Engineering Company (CFHEC), a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company.
On Monday, a special ceremony was held to mark the program’s completion in the presence of senior Ethiopian government officials, Chinese diplomats, representatives from the Ethiopian Federal Technical and Vocational Training Institute, and trainees, among others. The program has seen a total of 102 Ethiopian youth polish their competency through the provision of professional and technical classes in building construction, surveying, building materials testing, and mechanical equipment maintenance.
