The new graduates received a computer repair kit, or a sewing machine for their successful graduation, depending on what type of training they had undertaken, to help each student get a start in the business world.
There were only 32 students one year ago in May 2007, but there are over 700 students enrolled at the current time, with a waiting list for more slots when they open up. The new complex is located in the north Babil province about 50 kilometers away from Baghdad to the south, and has several factories and different vocational tech departments, each involved in training students.
