TEVETA AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY TO STRENGTHEN WORKPLACE SAFETY TRAINING

The Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Institute signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at promoting skills development, occupational safety and health, and work-based learning.

The partnership seeks to strengthen occupational safety and health standards among students undertaking on-the-job training across the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training sector.

TEVETA Director General Cleophas Takaiza says the collaboration will provide an opportunity to integrate workplace safety into skills development and ensure students are adequately prepared for the working environment.

He says the initiative is also expected to strengthen cooperation between the two institutions in promoting safe working conditions and equipping trainees with practical skills relevant to the labor market.
