ABOUT THE CENTRE (TVERC)

The Technical and Vocational Education Research Centre (TVERC) has been established to serve both as a research centre for training highly competent human resource in Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) and coordinating unit for all TVET related activities of the University.
