In a strategic move to support the gasification process in Highlands Adjara, the vocational training program will introduce new professions. These include:
- Welding-installer of gas pipelines
- Installer of natural gas heating systems
These professions will help the gasification process in Highlands Adjara and thus increase employment opportunities for local residents. The program will give 35 people the opportunity to participate in the learning process.
The agency has earmarked a substantial budget of 1,731,600 GEL for 2025, ensuring the continuation of all current programs aimed at vocational training and beneficiary employment. This commitment underscores the government’s dedication to fostering a skilled workforce and reducing unemployment.
