Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA)
Noting
that Tanzanian colleges are not in a position to offer modern
technology training in natural gas and oil extraction, Vocational
Education and Training Authority (VETA) Training Director, Leah Lukindo
has called on other vocational training centers to work with reputable
international colleges that can bridge the technological gap.
Training Director, Lukindo was speaking at a stakeholders workshop held in Dar es Salaam at the turn of the week where she observed that: “Investors will bring new technology to the country and so we must prepare our youth.”
“Our colleges’ capacity needs assistance from developed countries that are more experienced in the gas and oil sector,” she summed up.

Seconding the view, Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, Consolata Mgimba said Tanzanians must be well trained and prepared if they are to secure employment in the oil and gas industry.
“Human resource is the major ingredient needed to secure high productivity and quality performance and the most important investment in human resources is education and training,” she said noting that the government is aware of the gap and is working to close it.
The workshop brought together stakeholders from Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA), BG Tanzania and the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Youth Development.
