UNKRA Helps Train Korean Youth

1 January 1957

The 1,800 young Koreans at the Taejon Vocational Training Centre, realizing the value of what they learn there, 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. One of the Centre's expert instructors explains the operation of a turret lathe in the machine shop to a group of students.
