Humber International Development Institute

Under the Empowerment Through Skills Program (ESP), Global Affairs Canada’s Stephanie Brunet, Deputy Director, Health and Education, travelled to Tanzania to see first-hand how partnerships are translating investments into impact at Kasulu Folk Development College (FDC).

Alongside implementing partners, local partners, and industry representatives, Electrical Installation students currently undertaking their work-integrated learning placements at Sabtec Company Limited demonstrated the skills and knowledge gained in the classroom in a real-world setting.

Although the students completed their formal attachments last month, the contractor has since employed them on a contract basis, highlighting the strong link between training and employment.

🌍 Through collaboration between government, training institutions, and industry, these partnerships are strengthening skills development, improving employability, and creating sustainable pathways to economic opportunity.

ESP-04 is funded by the Government of Canada through Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada, administered by Colleges and Institutes Canada / Collèges et instituts Canada (CICan), and delivered in partnership with Humber Polytechnic, CCNB - Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick, and Cégep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
