Additionally, a new batch of 17 persons was enrolled in the commercial food preparation programme which was being offered previously. The programmes will help residents to enhance and develop their technical skills and take up employment at various entities. In some cases, persons will be able to establish or expand their businesses.

From that batch , a total of 14 persons received certificates in commercial food preparation and nine graduated in garment construction and boat building collectively. The rolling out of these programmes by the ministry serves as a way of improving the lives of persons in far reached communities. The Ministry of Labour has disclosed a total of 312 persons from Region Five benefitted from these programmes in 2022. These programmes were implemented by the government to ensure that everyone has access to training opportunities to gain life skills. (DPI)
