ERB Board Chairman Eng. Menye Manga, Adv., officiated the seminar and emphasized the importance of acquiring new skills to adapt to the fast-evolving technological landscape in engineering. Eng. Manga urged the participants to focus on continuous learning and innovation, which are key to advancing both their careers and the engineering profession as a whole.

The SEAP Induction Seminar is designed to provide the graduate engineers with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in their careers and contribute to the growth of Tanzania’s engineering sector.
