#ZAMITA Recently, the academy was expanded to serve the commercial transport sector workforce development in Ndola, Zambia. The managing partners of the academy, United Nations Industrial Development Organization #UNIDO, the Embassy of #Sweden in #Zambia, the #Volvo Group and the Government of Zambia had pledged to continue their support until 2022. The academy aims to boost the capacity of the #NORTEC through this multilateral public-private partnership program #PPP to decrease the skills shortage in the commercial transport sector. By creating a link with Volvo’s truck division for the purpose of a technology transfer, updating the curriculum, supplying the necessary infrastructure and staff development training, these initiatives will close the skills gap and empower youth in finding meaningful employment.
