UNKRA Helps Train Korean Youth

The 1,800 young Koreans at the Taejon Vocational Training Centre, realizing the value of what they learn here, have asked the Centre to stay open for night sessions. The United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) built the Centre on the site of a vocational training centre destroyed during the Korean war; it is one of seven wholly or partially financed by UNKRA, at a total cost of $1,600,000. There the students are turned into the machinists, carpenters, surveyors, machine-tool workers and civil engineers needed for Korea's future. Under the supervision of an instructor a student removes the pattern from a sand mould in the Centre's foundry.
