Micro-entrepreneurship and financial education are part of all vocational training offered to the beneficiaries for better learning.
Once the seamstresses are trained, AECOM helps them to set up their workshops and they are put into a network that works with the production centre to produce large quantities of, for example, school uniforms. The first beneficiaries are the population of MUGUNGA/LAC VERT who are around the centre.
The team of the centre is composed of a coordinator, a manager, a director, an accountant, a teacher for computer science, a teacher for sewing, a master tailor for production, a teacher and supervisor for agriculture and breeding, a gardener and security guards.
