EIM NCII

Batch 48 who have enrolled in SMAW NCII started their EIM NCII classes as part of the enrichment program bundled with their SMAW NCII. This is intervention of Don Bosco TVET Center to partner companies who need welders who are multi-skilled like a welder-electrician.

This enrichment program will be a big help in deploying the graduates since they are multi-skilled and most especially they have the Bosconian Values or the “Tatak Bosconian.”
