Following 18 months of intensive training in automotive, machining, and electricity, the Ministries of Youth, Sports, and Education, have received the third batch of Liberian TVET instructors from the Republic of Lusaka, Zambia. The initiative, which is currently being funded by the European Union and the Swedish government under the Youth Rising Project, is implemented by UNIDO. The goal of the TVET program in Liberia, according to Nimely, is for beneficiaries to be able to integrate into the labor market or develop their own jobs. For his part, the Chairperson of the project steering committee and Assistant Minister for TVET at the MoYS, Millias Z. Sheriff, who received the instructors on behalf of the government, praised the EU and the Swedish government for the degree of TVET assistance provided to the government.
