“I would like to thank USAID for promoting the private
sector. It is important that this grant gives us the opportunity to make
vocational education, and then employment, available to even more people.
Having more professional craftsmen is a prerequisite for quality and fast
construction,” said Shota Berekashvili, Managing Partner of BK Construction.
