Another group of youths yesterday graduated from the third ‘Youth in Natural Resources’ apprenticeship programme.
The three-week programme is an initiative of the Ministry of Natural Resources and at a closing ceremony held at the Baridi Benab, State House, the 28 apprentices were presented with certificates and welcomed into the programme’s alumni body.
The objective of the programme was to involve youth in the protection and preservation of Guyana’s natural resources. Over the three-week period, the participants were given the opportunity to visit and travel along the Berbice River and the savannahs of the Rupununi and Lethem.
