From training towards practical success

Dear valuable Reader,

The students of the „Maintenance Engineer“ course just finished a 4 weeks metal processing module where they learned about the different processing techniques using hand tools as well as electrical tools. The highlight in the fourth week was the handcrafting of a manual rice thresher where they could prove what they have learned and how to use these skills in a practical example. While on the first exemplar the teacher gave some pieces of advice, on the second example the students manufactured a fully functioning manual rice thresher by their own!

Congratulations to both, the teacher and the students for achieving this goal!
This is a remarkable recognition that the HELOG Academy module based training will be an excellent preparation for their future jobs. This training concept which geared towards building the individual from nonentity into a service provider or entrepreneur is very important not only to train students their chosen career but to show them the reality about working.
So join hands with HELOG ACADEMY today, to help build the resources for the future Liberian workforce.

 

Proud manufacturer

START-UP OF THE NEW “MAINTENANCE ENGINEER” COURSE

As HELOG ACADEMY LIBERIA anticipates its second training facility to be completed in the next four weeks, the management is pleased to announce that the next course for “Maintenance Engineers” will officially commence on the 15^th August, 2017.
It could be recalled that in January 2016, HELOG ACADEMY started its first training programs in “Industrial Mechanics” and today we are proud that with the excellent training and standards implanted into them, those who made it in the training now have a career perspective which has always been our passion and we are committed by it.
Executing the first course in our school was a challenge as well as a learning process for both the students and for us as management. Teachers and the entire staff realized these exceptional challenges and did their utmost best to manage them day by day.
HELOG is proud to confirm its continued commitment and support to this important initiative. It is our desire that our students one day take the knowledge gained and it’s principles with them, as they jump into the job market to become service providers.
To all interested readers, Friends and partners of ours, please be informed that we still have the space for more students to join the “Maintenance Engineer” course. This is a golden opportunity for you to grab, do not miss it, send your children or relative now to HELOG ACADEMY LIBERIA so that they will be fortunate to have a job profile and job readiness today and become a member of the future workforce tomorrow.
