What is being offered, and who announced it?
Tikvah Education reported on Tikimt 12, 2019 E.C. (22 October 2026) that the Addis Ababa City Administration Technical and Vocational Training Bureau is offering training places through its 14 government technical and vocational training colleges. The post names the Bureau as the body making the places available.
The offer is for two groups: students who sat the 2018 E.C. Grade 12 national exam, and young people who finished Grade 12 in earlier years and have not entered training. The places are in five fields: technology, manufacturing, construction, service and handicraft.
Which students can apply?
The offer applies to students who sat the 2018 E.C. Grade 12 national exam and to earlier Grade 12 completers who have not started technical and vocational training. The report gives no minimum result or other condition for entry, and it says nothing about young people living outside Addis Ababa or about any other group.
When does registration run, and what do you need?
| Item | Date in both calendars |
|---|---|
| Report published | Tikimt 12, 2019 E.C. (22 October 2026) |
| First day of registration | Tikimt 6, 2019 E.C. (16 October 2026) |
| Last day of registration | Tikimt 28, 2019 E.C. (7 November 2026) |
The post says registration is in person at the colleges. It refers to attached information that includes the list of the 14 colleges and the admission point (ቅበላ ነጥብ), but that information is not in the text of the report. The college list, the admission point, the documents to bring and any fee have not been announced in the report.
What should you do next?
Find your college
Choose the college among the 14 that is closest to you, and ask the Bureau or the college for the full list.
Prepare to register in person
Plan to visit the college before Tikimt 28, 2019 E.C. (7 November 2026), and ask it which documents to bring, since the report does not list them.
Watch for the full notice
Look for the full notice, including the admission point, on the Bureau's own channels or at the colleges, and check it against this report.
Did registration open before the report appeared?
The report does not explain why these places are being offered this year or how many places there are, and it gives no figures from the 2018 E.C. national exam.
The registration window began on Tikimt 6, 2019 E.C. (16 October 2026), before the post appeared on Tikimt 12, 2019 E.C. (22 October 2026). The report does not say whether the window was extended, so anyone who wants to register should confirm with the college that registration is still open.
