Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. On June 3, the Heavy duty machinery
mechanics (HDMM) workshop was officially opened at Dornod Polytechnic College
(DPC) with the support of ‘Cooperative Technical and Vocational Education and
Training’ (cTVET) project.
The building that transformed to the HDMM workshop – was
built in 1973 as an agriculture machine mechanics repair workshop, but was not
used for its purpose due to roof, insulation problem. Thus, re-planning of the
workshop was made in 2019 reflecting workforce and service demands of companies
in the region. With the instruction of GIZ technical advisors, with integrated
practical training of students and teachers as well as private sector
contributions – the workshop has been renovated based on a sophisticated
concept allowing the acquisition of most relevant competencies in the field
HDMM. “This center is a development not only for our school, but for the TVET
sector and it is a platform for further TVET cooperation with industry” says
the Director of DPC.
The workshop is a result of collective efforts of DPC its
partner companies and cTVET project. The director of Nainga LLC, head of
professional board at DPC shared his perspective on the workshop, on behalf of
partner companies “The workshop opens great potential to our province, where
big mining projects are in place. These projects need highly skilled workers,
HDM repair service. Our company employs 9 HDMM graduates.”
The renovation and human capacity development during the transformation of the workshop was led and supervised by our cTVET project technical advisor Hermann Scholten. The cTVET project is commissioned by BMZ, co-financed by KOICA Mongolia office.
