Classroom instruction alone is not sufficient to equip today's students with the knowledge and skills required to ensure a new and prosperous economy for Liberia. What the classroom cannot provide is the experience and personal challenges found in the working environment that will be created by our Corporations. When these new Corporations begin to operate in cooperation with friends abroad/experts, the student will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired in the classroom established within these corporations to real-life situations.
This type of education has become known as experiential learning, workplace education, or co-operative education (co-op). In practice, workplace education (co-op) alternates periods of academic study and related, practical working experiences.
We intend to also establish a centre to be called the Centre for Workplace Education (Co-op). This Centre will administer a variety of experiential education programs for a future Liberian Institute of Technology's many trades and technology programs. Each program involves students in applied learning situations designed to enhance their knowledge in their discipline. As a result, these programs help to develop the skills necessary for employment and lifelong learning. Programs may include cooperative education, co-op internships, fieldwork practicums, and workplace experiences.

For example, this particular program will provide Liberians with the skills they need to start an exciting career with the corporation(s) involved with manufacturing. In today's high-tech world of modern conveniences and instant gratification, many Liberians don't know how sophisticated and challenging the manufacturing industry has become, even though they use its products every day. For example, today's manufacturing utilizes innovative technologies, including sophisticated Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software and specialty aerospace industry materials to develop and build the products of tomorrow. Many Machinists of today can be found transferring complex mechanical engineering drawings from the computer screen to computerized machinery. A machinist can often be seen moving between the computer screen and the milling machine. The Machinist, also known as Computer Numerical Control Operator, CNC Operator, possesses good mechanical skills, design and problems solving skills. The ability to work with very tight measurement specifications with a high degree of precision is highly desired, as small errors can compound at the machinery production level. There will be lots of opportunities for Liberians in this field when the rest of the Corporations begin to operate. The opportunities for a Computer Numerical Control Machinist Technician include: The Aerospace Industry; the automobile/motorcycle industry; medical Research Industry; Innovative Technologies Industry; Research and Development Industry; Forestry and Mining Industry; Manufacturing machine parts Industry. We will endeavor to provide all such training right here in Liberia in cooperation with our friends who will work with us as contract engineers.
