Mohale's Hoek ___ The Minister of Labour and Employment Mr. Ts'eliso Mokhosi has pledged government's assistance to Ntlafatso Skills Training Centre, during a graduation ceremony held for about 70 graduates on Thursday.

Mr. Mokhosi stated that the government will ensure that programs are improved to a higher standard and are relevant, and appreciated the hard work done by the institution's management by improvising with the little that they have, noting scarcity of funds to buy equipment for learners bring a huge hindrance to the day to day running of the institution.

He further asserted that the world is currently evolving around the use of the internet, therefore those who have graduated previously, will also be allowed to return to the institution to upgrade their skills so that they are up to speed with others.

On the other hand, the acting Director Mr. Poelo Maanela applauded instructors for the hard work they put in ensuring that learners from various districts get skills they deserve, and urged them to start their own businesses, so that they get to contribute in developing the country's economy, while improving their lives.

Furthermore, on behalf of graduates, Vuyani Mavuso appreciated the unwavering support they got from the parents and instructors, and urged his colleagues to work hard, and not expect to be hired.

Programs offered at Ntlafatso include Catering, Bricklaying and Plastering, Sewing, Plumbing, and Mechanical engineering among others.
