The main areas of work include: Curriculum Development; Training of RTC Instructors and Principals; Upgrading of Infrastructure at RTCs; promotion of Enterprise Development at RTCs; funding of RTC short courses; construction and initial running of Vanga Teachers College; Media Promotion.

In 2002 – 2003 the European Union project is making small grants available to RTCs to stimulate enterprise developments, increasing prospects of self-sufficiency, as well as grants for infrastructure improvements and the purchase of hand tools for training purposes. The project is making a big push to upgrade the instructors at RTCs.
