It’s Youth Month!
Youth Month is being recognised this month, under the theme, ’Youth IMPACT 2024 — Innovative Minds, Purpose Action, Collective Triumphs’.
The month serves to highlight and celebrate the achievements of youth, while at the same time implementing policies and programmes to nurture, guide, and empower youth across the island.
One of the key areas of focus in previous years has been on education, as well as for guidance towards a brighter future, and the opportunities available.
Government has also implemented various programmes aimed at providing support, mentorship, and funding for young people with innovative business ideas, with emphasis on enhancing technical and vocational training.
