Telling the LOIC Story
Join us at LOIC for hands-on training in various trades. Unlock your potential and build a successful career! Empowering Liberia’s youth through vocational education.
LOIC Monrovia program celebrated its 30th Cycle graduation,
Speaking at the ceremony, Guest Speaker Hon. Laraamend Shenkin Nyonton, Deputy Minister for TVET, Ministry of Youth and Sports, congratulated the graduates:
All graduates today took days, weeks, and months to labor, getting their hands dirty with field work. Today, you are ready to go into the society.”
He highlighted LOIC’s legacy since 1977 as a tireless momentum of hope in Liberia. With over 70,000 trained since inception, the institution has consistently stepped in to rescue Liberian youth from unemployment.
He urged graduates to look beyond the event:
We must develop local skills to create jobs and empower our own people. Electricians, plumbers, builders, mechanics, and other technical trades remain essential to national development, infrastructure growth, and improved public services.”
Hon. Nyonton reaffirmed the Ministry of Youth and Sports’ commitment to supporting TVET programs nationwide and encouraged graduates to become innovators, creators, and contributors to Liberia’s future development.
Mr. F. Rufus Monroe, Executive Director, closed the program by congratulating the graduates for their commitment throughout the training. He encouraged them not to sit idle but to enter the labor market with innovation, professionalism, and excellence. He also officially announced that training for the 31st Cycle is ongoing and called on more young Liberians to take advantage of the opportunity.
The graduation was graced by members of the Board of Directors, LOIC administration, partner organizations, parents, and our respective graduates.
