Old and new

This one belongs in a museum. In the "old" days these kind of work benches for trades training were the core of the IIC Pemba (Instituto Industrial & Commercial Pemba). Nowadays there is not much training done at technical schools anymore on these machines; also here the automation is dominating production facilities and factories. The IIC is moving more towards training in the hospitality industry, which is expected to grow locally once off-shore oil & gas industry starts its work in the region. The IIC Pemba has just completed its new building of a hotel school which includes 20 fully equipped hotel rooms, a reception area, conference rooms and an upgraded culinary institute.
Because of irregular electricity and water supply systems the institution still needs to have back up systems, such as this water system recently installed with the assistance of the European Union.
