Overview

In the rural areas,technical vocational training and skills development are rarely accessible. VID provides post-secondary-education skills in both formal and informal settings.The main targets are young people, equipping them with basic Information Computer Technology (ICT) understanding, research capabilities, analysis skills and co-operative leadership training.

The vision of a poverty-free world by 2030 is a critical step towards Zimbabwe being a sustainable country.

Programmes are evolving and growing to reflect the needs associated with employment and leadership.
