\u201cGraduates, your dedication, your time, your sacrifice, has paid off, several months of hard work, though we had many challenges yet we have yielded good results,\u201d said Kate Lewis, Minister with responsible for Youth Development within the Ministry of Youth Development, Sports, Culture and the Arts, as she addressed graduates.<\/p>\n

They were presented with their certificates of accomplishment following three months of intense life skills training in Numeracy, Literacy, Small Business, and three months of CVQ certification in General Construction and Commercial Food Preparation. All participants will also receive CVQ certificates from the National Training Agency.<\/p>\n

Hon. Kate Lewis in addressing the participants commended their efforts and implored upon them to be agents of change, despite the many challenges of the project.<\/p>\n

Most outstanding participant, Michael Noel said, \u201cIt was a good experience, I will encourage other youth to participate in the project, as it would help them out, it had a big impact on me, as I would often get myself into trouble but since I became involved, my life has improved.\u201d<\/p>\n
