The Maryland Vocational Training Institute (MVTI) in Pleebo, recently hosted an orientation for students at the Pleebo City Hall.
The event brought together educational stakeholders, including Pleebo City Mayor, Larry G. Geekor, MVTI faculty, and local government officials.
MVTTI Deputy Director for training and manpower, Gregory Mieh, announced that 303 students have registered for five programs: general mechanics, construction, agriculture, electricity, air conditioning and refrigeration. He said, the institute focuses on 80 percent practical training to equip students with technical skills and hands-on job experience.
Established by the legislature on September 27, 2021, MVTI aims to empower junior and high school graduates to meet labor market demands by becoming self-reliant entrepreneurs.
The institute has received sponsorship from government officials, including Richard Nagbe Koon (170 students), Austin B. Taylor (30 students) and Senator J. Glebo Brown (60 students).
Meanwhile, some of the students have remained thankful to lawmakers, who covered their tuition fees.
The first batch to enroll said, the support will help them focus on their studies without going through financial stress.
“We’re grateful to the lawmakers for their individuals and collective kindness. The gesture have allowed us to concentrate on learning and achieving our goals.”
The gesture is also expected to boost enrollment and empower more young people attending MVTI.
