As many youths cry out for employment, many who become employed fail to keep their job because they lack necessary work ethics. In this regard, Youth Challenge Guyana (YCG) will be launching a “Youth Employability and Development Programme (YEDP)”,

According to Hinds, “Businesses play a positive role in communities; not only would they benefit economically, but also improve the community…they can have an integral role in community development.”The programme will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-12pm and 1-3pm. Free lunch will be provided. Registration costs $100 and forms are available at the YCG office, 291 Thomas Street, South Cummingsburg. The deadline for registration is Friday, August 27.
