The second group of Malaita youth participants in the 100-member field experience program was briefed on Sunday at the Malaita Youth Hub ahead of their upcoming placement at Goshen Enterprise packhouse in Adaliua, Malaita Province.
The second group, comprising 25 youth members, will gain practical experience in agriculture next week, following the same route as the first group, which recently completed their fieldwork in agriculture before moving on to fisheries.
“This program empowers our youth by giving them hands-on experience and broadening their knowledge for future opportunities,” said Malaita Provincial Youth Coordinator, Frank Samo Sari.
He explained that next week, while the first group moves to fisheries, the second group will step into agricultural training.
“It is just the same route that the first group has done. They visited agriculture first and then fisheries,” he said.
The initiative is organized by the National Youth Congress (NYC) following the successful launch of its pioneering apprenticeship project in Auki earlier this week.
The six-week program is made possible through collaboration between NYC and its partners, and aims to build skills and create future opportunities for youths in Malaita.
