He noted that the training was not merely about the distribution of machinery or tools but about empowering participants to become certified skilled workers capable of applying both practical skills and thoughtful planning.
Encouraging them to motivate other youths and parents in their villages to enrol in similar programmes, Aye reiterated the administration’s vision of building a strong base of skilled labourers in Shamator.
Basic toolkits were distributed to the trainees during the programme to support their entry into the workforce.
