The Ministry of Labour’s Board of Industrial Training (BIT) Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme on Tuesday held a graduation ceremony for 122 youths in Region Six, who have attained a variety of skill sets, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
The DPI reported Minister of Labour Joseph Hamilton as commending the batch on their achievement. “There is no time for skylarking. You have to do everything possible for your development and the development of your community and your country. You should be proud of yourself that you can say at least, I started something and I finished it, that’s a very positive thing.
The certificate is just a piece of paper, it is the attitude, it is what you do with the talent after the certificate. It is how you see yourself progressing and developing,” he was quoted as saying.
BIT programmes offered include cosmetology, heavy-duty equipment, garment construction, Information and Commu-nications Technology, general building construction, small engine repairs and more, the report noted, while adding that Minister Hamilton highlighted the importance of being multi-skilled as Guyana is experiencing steadfast economic growth.
