Ms Chama observed that there is a great opportunity of Camco College and Lusaka Vocational and Technical Training College working together for the benefit of the students, she said that much as her institution is stronger on theoretical part, such can be complemented Camco College’s solid base of wide range of machinery and equipment that can be handy in practicals.

Mr Mbasela said the objective in establishing the ITC was to develop hands-on, dedicated craftsmen for the Zambian manufacturing, transport and service industries; thus far ITC “is answering to the demands of the clients, filling up the skills gap on the market” Mr Mbasela. Mr Mbasela who was accompanied by the Training Manager Mr Albert Banda said a window of collaboration existed between Camco College and ITC and requested that team members from the two institutions work on a concept paper to spell out the level of cooperation.
