The Grand Kru Technical College in Barclayville, Southeastern Liberia, has embarked on a two-day faculty and support staff capacity development program.
The workshop to be held under the theme: “Improving Workplace Efficiency, Train, Inspire and Equip” is to help craft a strong and positive future for Liberian students, and the session runs from April 11-12, 2024.
About 150 participants from Grand Kru, Maryland, and Montserrado Counties, particularly students, faculty, as well as representatives of traditional elders, civil society, and women leadership, will be in attendance.
The two-day academic session, geared towards quality teaching, learning and practical research, provides a space for stakeholders of Grand Kru County, especially academicians, professionals, and students, to come together to share practical and hand-on skills, fostering a sense of community and togetherness.
According to the Administration of the Grand Kru Technical College, the two-day sessions is more than just exploring new teaching techniques and acquiring new academic knowledge; it will be a transformative experience that shapes professional trajectory and standards in education in a profound way.
It is also designed towards remodeling the Technical College in the ways that reflect a globally recognized institution.
The Grand Kru Technical College, in 2023, transitioned from TVET status to a full Technical College, and offers a two-year Associate degree in six major disciplines, including Agriculture Technology, Education, Engineering and Technology, Business, Natural Sciences, and Heath Sciences.
The College was established in February 2019 through an Act of the National Legislature of Liberia.
The Board of Trustees of the Grand Kru Technical College was appointed by former President George Weah to give directions and formulate policies to move the institution forward.
