Vice President Jeremiah Kpan Koung has officially launched the Tappita Vocational Training Institute (TVTI), a landmark educational initiative expected to provide life-changing skills and opportunities for thousands of young Liberians across Nimba County and beyond.
The institute was formally established following approval by the National Legislature and the signing of the Act into law by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, granting the institution full legal status as a public technical and vocational training center.
As part of his commitment to the project, Vice President Koung donated 1,000 bags of cement to support ongoing construction and development works on the campus. He also announced that he will cover the enrollment fees for the first 100 students admitted to the institution.
TVTI is expected to train thousands of young people in practical and marketable skills, including electricity, plumbing, masonry, carpentry, information and communication technology (ICT), and other technical disciplines. The institution aims to equip graduates with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to secure employment, create businesses, and contribute to Liberia’s economic growth.
The launch of the institute represents a major investment in human capital development under the Boakai-Koung Administration’s ARREST Agenda, with many citizens describing it as a significant step toward empowering the next generation and reducing youth unemployment across the country.
