The National Youth Congress launched its pioneering apprenticeship project in Auki, Malaita Province on Tuesday this week.
The launch was successful due to a collaborative relationship between the National Youth Congress (NYC) and its partners.
The programme will take six weeks and is expected to play a significant role in empowering Malaita’s youth and creating more opportunities for their future.
During the opening session, the youth focused on the theme “Safeguard”, emphasising protection and well-being of youth and children participating in the programme.
Malaita Provincial Youth Coordinator, Frank Samo Sari said the initiative marks another milestone for youths in Malaita Province.
He said the programme aims to equip participants with new knowledge, skills and experiences that can enhance personal development for future employment.
He said 30 youths attended the opening of the programme yesterday and they expect more members to join in the coming days.
“We have 100 youth members; however, only 30 arrived this morning. So, we expect other members will join us in the coming days,” he said.
Participants will have the opportunity to visit agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sites in the province.
“Firstly, they will visit the agriculture site, where the youth will engage with Goshen Enterprise on taro processing and production at Adaliua Farm. Secondly, they will visit the forestry site to see tree nurseries and planting,” he said.
