🌍 TVET Training for Tanzanian Export Markets: A Delight Perspective

As Tanzania expands its presence in regional and global export markets, there’s a growing need for skilled professionals who can meet international production standards. From fashion and furniture to food processing and digital media, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is key to unlocking export potential — and Delight Technical College is leading that charge.
