The Workers’ Compensation Fund Control Board (WCFCB) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA) to strengthen rehabilitation and reintegration support for injured workers.

The agreement, signed today, will enhance operations at the WCFCB Rehabilitation Centre in Ndola, focusing on skills development, vocational training, and socio-economic empowerment for workers recovering from occupational injuries.

WCFCB Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Patrick Siampwili emphasized the significance of the partnership in improving rehabilitation services and creating pathways for injured workers to regain independence and contribute productively to society.

“This partnership is strategic in ensuring that rehabilitation goes beyond medical recovery. It empowers injured workers with skills that enable them to reintegrate into the workforce and sustain their livelihoods,” Mr. Siampwili said.

He was accompanied by Mr. Maybin Nkholomba, Director of Compliance and Compensation Services, and Mrs. Stella Kaluba, Manager of Occupational Health and Safety.

The collaboration is expected to Expand vocational training opportunities for recovering workers, strengthen rehabilitation programmes at the Ndola centre, promote entrepreneurship and self-reliance among beneficiaries and Align rehabilitation with Zambia’s broader skills development agenda

The MoU reflects Government’s wider push to integrate social protection with skills training, ensuring that workers affected by workplace injuries are not left behind in Zambia’s economic growth journey.
