The Katsina Youth Craft Village (KYCV) has completed a comprehensive capacity-building programme for both the technical and management staff of the agency.
The training programme, conducted from 18th – 20th December, 2024, at the ITF Industrial Skills Training Centre in Kano, represents Governor Radda’s ongoing effort to enhance vocational education in Katsina State.
According to the Center Coordinator of Katsina Youth Craft Village (KYCV), Engr. Kabir Abdullahi Kofar Soro, the programme was facilitated by Cranewood Integrated Services Ltd. The exercise equipped KYCV staff and management with modern teaching techniques, advanced vocational training methodologies and preparation for National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and ISO compliance.
In a notable expansion of youth development agenda in Katsina State, Engr. Kofar Soro noted that Governor Radda has transferred four additional skills acquisition centres in Daura, Danmusa, Kafur and Malumfashi to KYCV’s management.
Engr. Kofar Soro further praised Governor Radda’s visionary leadership, noting that it has propelled Katsina Youth Craft Village to lead charge in skills, vocational and economic development.
“His Excellency’s commitment to youth empowerment has positioned KYCV to become a world-class vocational training institution,” Engr. Kofar Soro stated. The Governor’s strategic support and resource allocation demonstrates his dedication to creating sustainable economic opportunities for our youth.
According to the KYCV Coordinator, the training programme covered crucial areas including modern teaching techniques, accreditation preparation, workplace safety and technology integration in vocational training.
This initiative aligns with Governor Radda’s broader vision of transforming Katsina State into a hub of skilled workforce development and economic growth.
