In 2008, the Government purchased the land and building from the British American Tobacco and vested same in the Ministry of Education & Human Resources for use by the MITD to set up a modern training centre, that is the Knowledge Based Training Centre (KBTC). Located in the heart of Port Louis, the KBTC was opened in August 2008 and became operational as from mid-September of the same year when it welcomed its first cohort of trainees.
Presently, numerous courses in Engineering, Hotel Trades and Business Administration among others are being offered. Moreover, other innovative courses, such as Hairdressing, Beauty Therapy and Body Massage are offered at Certificate and Advanced Diploma Levels. The KBTC is positioned to become one of the biggest Training Centres in the Indian Ocean.
