The Gobabis Vocational Training Centre created the first ever proto-type solar truck, which aims to bring TVET services to the communities.

The idea came about following an identified need to bring VTC services to the community, which finds it difficult to come to the main centre due to finances.

The prototype, which has earned them awards at different display platforms, will be operated by solar panels mounted on top of the truck.

The solar truck will carry two to four trades at once, depending on the community's needs. 

The VTC is in the process of engaging relevant stakeholders and plans to roll it out by the end of the year with its first pilot in Epukiro and eventually to the rest of the country.
