KathmandU: IME Group and IXI Corp have jointly established the Kathmandu Technical School (KTS). The school is brought into operation to produce skilled human resources in the job market.

Minister for Labour, Employment and Social Security, Sharat Singh Bhandari, inaugurated the school amidst a programme organized at Dhumbarahi today.

Similarly, President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry and IME Group Chair Chandra Prasad Dhakal said that with the operation of the school, the IME Group has been moving ahead in producing technical human resources. He expressed the belief that the school would play a significant role in making thousands of youths self-employed.

‘The school was established with a target of starting a new era in technical and vocational education in Nepal. We expect that the school will have a positive contribution in employment, education, society and overall economy,’ mentioned Dhakal.

Likewise, Chairperson of Kathmandu Technical School, Manoj Poudel, shared that the school would help the government’s objective of producing more than 100,000 human resources in next 10 years.
