Ambo: President of the Micro Business College (MBC), Abera Tilahun has declared that the college is planning to launch an extensive cooperative movement along select villages of West Shoa. The movement, perhaps the biggest ever seen in the country would be comprising of 61 diverse enterprise schemes involving local farmers and the college’s students. “This is our project to ensure employment for students of our campuses so as to create self-reliant citizens and villages”, Mr. Abera added.
The proposed enterprises schemes would fall under five major titles of Agricultural Businesses, Agro-Industry Businesses, Forestry Businesses, Service Rendering Businesses and Whole/Retail Merchandising Enterprises.
The college would be soon establishing a tie-up with its holding company, Ethio-Limat Consultants PLC so that students who pass out can easily fetch a job at the latter’s developmental sites spread through Tokie – Mida Kegn of Uru Gama, Gedo and Woliso. A letter of interest issued by the Ethio-Limat Consultants PLC (ELC) states that such association with the college would bear major objectives ranging from optimum use of natural resources for revenue generation to intensive need-based training, education, research and consultancy services to address cultural and socio-economic needs of the local people.
