Ambassador Kelly C. Degnan gave opening remarks at the annual Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Awards Ceremony.

Since 2017, the TVET Awards Ceremony has supported the transformation of the TVET sector in order to provide Georgians of all ages and backgrounds with the skills needed to succeed.
