A three-year scholarship in Dar es Salaam will train 300 young people to operate and repair farm machinery. Daily News reported that VETA director general Anthony Kasore and Tanzania Breweries managing director Michelle Kilpin signed the Ujuzi Kwanza agreement on Wednesday at the company's Ilala offices. One hundred trainees are planned each year.
The courses will run at five vocational centres: Kihonda and Manyara regional centres, and centres in Mpanda, Arusha, and Dakawa. Kasore said the point is practical skill for a job or for self-employment in farming. Kilpin said the company already trains smallholders who grow sorghum, maize, and barley, and that the new partnership extends that support to more young people. Corporate relations director Neema Temba said the brewery depends on those crops for manufacturing.
The article is the signing and the plan: 300 places, five colleges, three years. It does not name the first students, and it does not report a class already completed.
For the classroom
In Dar es Salaam, two groups signed a scholarship so young people can learn farm machines. Daily News reported the agreement on October 28, 2026. Over three years, 300 students will train, 100 each year, at five colleges. They will learn to run and repair agricultural machinery. The skills are meant for a job or a small business in farming. The brewery already teaches some farmers who grow sorghum, maize, and barley. This plan adds young people who are not those farmers yet. The story is the signed paper. A finished first class has not been reported.
- Why would a farm need someone who can fix a machine, not only someone who drives it?
- What is a skill a young person could learn that helps food get from a field to a kitchen?
