Youth participants in an apprenticeship programme in Auki have been urged to become role models and demonstrate positive change during their six-week training.
Malaita Provincial Youth Coordinator, Frank Samo Sari, made the call during a briefing session for the second group of youths at the Malaita Provincial Assembly conference room yesterday.
Mr Sari said the selected participants are fortunate to be part of the programme and should make full use of the opportunity to learn new skills and improve their lives.
“You own this province and this town, and you are the lucky ones selected to join this initiative, so I urge you to show a new image to others,” he said.
He encouraged the youths to leave behind negative behaviours and embrace responsibility as future leaders in their communities.
“You are responsible leaders in your community, constituency, province and the country as a whole,” he added.
Mr Sari said being a responsible leader includes taking simple actions such as correcting others who dispose of rubbish improperly.
The six-week apprenticeship programme focuses on agriculture, forestry and fisheries.
The initiative aims to engage unemployed youths in Malaita Province by equipping them with practical skills and knowledge to support themselves and contribute meaningfully to society.
