Back in 1991, in the middle of the civil war, the Salesians built the "Don Bosco Technical High School" in Monrovia, the capital. It is a school that provides primary, middle and high school education and is currently considered one of the best high schools in the city and in all of Liberia.

Now the Sons of Don Bosco in Liberia want to start a new department of vocational training for electrotechnicians. A course that is open in the afternoon to high school students to offer an integration to their educational path; and in the morning to young workers to help them obtain a certification of their skills and help implement their capacities according to the demands of the world of work.

The initiative includes the renovation of an existing space in the school and its transformation into a workshop, and to open it annually to 90 high school students and 30 uncertified electricians.

The project aims to respond to the needs of the labor market while at the same time aligning itself with the national policy on technical and vocational training. The aim is to position the proposed activities as a model for the future development of its axis of intervention.
