Nevis’ Department of Youth is preparing school leavers to transition into the workforce through its annual Summer Job Attachment Programme, which began with a four-day training workshop on June 17^th at the Malcolm Guishard Recreational Park.

This year’s programme received strong interest, with 70 fifth and sixth form students applying between May 8^th and May 27^th.

In the wake of the application process, the youth were interviewed based on their career interests and are now engaged in pre-internship training sessions, which will end June 20^th. Minister of Youth, the Hon. Troy Liburd, facilitated an interactive session with participants during the training.

Participants will also complete a volunteer project between July 7^th and August 1^st, the same period during which they will be attached to government departments and private sector businesses across Nevis.
