Westgate Industrial Training College
Westgate Industrial Training College in Bulawayo offers courses that produce skilled workers. It was established in June 1983 by the Ministry of Manpower Planning and Development, to fill industry’s needs for skilled employees from unclassified to class one. These employees must have attempted a trade test and thus obtained a skilled worker class level.
In addition to training, skilled workers can seek for assistance in preparing for a trade test in the Engineering trades under:
- Automotive
- Electrical
- Mechanical.
The College will endeavour to provide the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to the individual.
They work closely with industry to keep abreast of technological changes and to improve their curriculum to meet these new environments.
