EACOP Tanzania pulled up to a graduation ceremony in Moshi and confirmed that 80 young people finished their training at three different VETA schools. Acting General Manager Geofrey Mponda explained that getting locals ready for jobs is basically what the whole project is about. The year-long program ran through a partnership between Panyu Chu Kong Steel Pipe and VETA, hitting schools in Kilindi, Shinyanga and Moshi.
Local Content Manager Neema Kweka pointed out that this whole thing shows how companies and government can actually work together without fumbling. The training focused on eight technical skills that give youth from pipeline areas a real shot at landing work. Panyu Chu Kong Steel Pipe delivered 260,000 tonnes of coated pipes for the project over two years while staying on schedule the entire time.
