is working in partnership with a project funded by the European Union. 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

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.
