Program Overview
The Program allows learners to develop a range of skills, technical knowledge and provide learning experiences that are necessary for employment primarily in the Agricultural area. Seychelles despite being an island with a small population depends heavily on importation of the agricultural products. Furthermore, with the flourishing tourism industry, the demand for vegetables, fruits and animal products is increasing. Hence, to boost up the local agricultural production, there is a need to train learners to meet the increasing requirement of this sector.
