THE Western Province Young Entrepreneurs Council (WPYEC) is expecting more capacity-building training from the Ministry of Commerce, Industries, Labour and Immigration (MCILI) following the successful completion of its first training programme last week.
The initial training focused on digital content creation and attracted young entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners across Western Province.
Participants were equipped with basic skills in creating digital content to promote products and services, particularly through online platforms.
WPYEC representative, Robson Tuke, said the training was timely and highly beneficial, noting that many young people are now turning to digital platforms to support their small businesses and income-generating activities.
He said the digital content creation training was an eye-opener for most participants who are keen to venture into online business.
Mr Tuke acknowledged the Ministry of Commerce, particularly its E-commerce Division, for reaching out to youths in Western Province with the important training.
“We are so grateful for this opportunity and we are looking forward to more trainings in the future,” he said.
Meanwhile, E-commerce National Coordinator, Tristein Zutu, said the digital content creation training has set the scene for the ministry to facilitate more training programmes in Western Province.
He said upcoming trainings will focus on how to set up and manage an online business, including practical guidance on digital marketing and online sales.
Mr Zutu also acknowledged the partnership established between his office, the Western Provincial Government and the WPYEC, saying such collaboration is vital for empowering young entrepreneurs.
He said consistent training opportunities will help young people build confidence, improve their skills, and contribute meaningfully to local economic development in the province.
