A new vocational educational institution of the construction profile will be built in the municipality of Zestafoni for the purpose of staffing the construction industry with professional employees, as well as assisting to the employment. For this purpose, the Memorandum of Cooperation was concluded between the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia and the Company “m² Real Estate”, signed by the First Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Georgia Ketevan Natriashvili and the General Director of m² Irakli Burdiladze.According to the Memorandum, an agreement was signed between the Ministry and m²’s subsidiary - BK Construction, which implies the foundation of a new vocational educational institution and its development.

The new college will prepare more than 200 students per year by means of dual educational programmes and will offer more than 20 shrot-term vocational courses in engineering. The dormitory on the base of the college will host other residents of the municipality as well. Studies include both theoretical and practical courses that will be conducted on m² sites.

Within the frames of the professional education reform, the access to the vocational education in the regions is to be increased. The teaching quality will be improved by means of the public and private partnership. Promotion of education and employment is one of the main directions for both the Ministry and m², since the Company aims at employing only professionals in their own projects, which, in its turn, will facilitate the establishment of a new vocational college.
