Forty women from regions Seven (Cuyuni/Mazaruni) and Nine (Upper Takutu/Upper Essequibo) graduated on Friday evening from the Atlantic Maritime and Offshore Training Institute (AAMOTI) through a fully-funded scholarship programme that was a collaboration between the Office of the First Lady and the institute, a release from the First Lady’s Office stated yesterday.
The graduation took place during a ceremony at the Baridi Benab, at the State House in Georgetown.
According to the release, the 40 women were the second batch of a total of 60 women who have since benefitted from the scholarship programme. A total of 100 women from the hinterland will receive training through the programme which was launched last year.
