"From July 2007 until January 2008 I gave courses in engineering drawing using AutoCAD for trainers and supervisors of Vocational Training Centers, linked to the Ministry of Labour, Public Service and Human Resource Development and for engineers of the Humanitarian Aid Commission. The training consisted of four sessions in collaboration with Sudan Training and Rehabilitation Organization (STARO) and the Higher Council for Vocational training (HCVT) (each lasted four weeks). Additionally, one session was organized with the Humanitarian Aid Commission and lasted 3 weeks. Each session had 18-25 participants. As a special guest His Excellency the Minister of Labour inaugurated the Training Sessions.
The participants learned to execute engineering drawings using the computerized program 'AutoCAD', using Toolbars, Menu, Standard Toolbars, Modify Toolbars, Dimension Toolbars. The content of the training sessions was well comprehended and taken up by all trainers and supervisors.
Results:
1. The AutoCAD training session was officially approved as part of the
Vocational Training Basic Capacity Building Courses.
2. The Vocational Training centers have gained three competent trainers
to sustain AutoCAD training, as of January 2008.
3. The Ministry of Labour supported the infrastructure of the
Vocational Training Institutes with 25 sets of computers to encourage
AutoCAD training."
