On May 28, 2009, the Bamyan Independent Administrative Reform and Civil Service Commission (IARCSC) Provincial Training Center graduated its second class. In just over a year since opening, this unique civil service training institute has provided Bamyan’s provincial government with almost 120 newly trained civil servants, including the 38 students in the recent graduating class.
For six months, the graduates took courses in English, management, and computer science, and now have the knowledge and confidence to apply their new skills in the workplace. Together, the graduates of the IARCSC Provincial Training Center will play a key role in the work being carried out to develop Bamyan’s provincial government. They will be able to use their new skills to contribute actively to public administration reform – an essential effort in a democratic Afghanistan.
