Public Service Minister, Jennifer Westford, has encouraged ten youths to continue participating in the Linden Community Empowerment Programme (LINCEP), which she said could be a stepping stone for them to reach as far as studying for a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering at the University of Guyana.
On November 19th, Westford travelled to Linden to visit the LINCEP participants at their makeshift practical work site at the Wisroc Junction to commend them for persevering in the programme, which is intended to serve as an alternative opportunity for early school leavers to become employable by learning a skill.
Over the past three months, the young men have been undergoing theoretical and practical training in auto repairs,
