The United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DfID) begins the four-nation “Youth Skills for Economic Growth in the Eastern Caribbean” project, next month.
The program will be headquartered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
This £10 million regional project, implemented by Mott MacDonald Ltd, will train and provide stipends to almost 1,000 Vincentians in tourism, hospitality and construction disciplines over a three-year period.
Divided between training grants to private entities and instruction offered through adult education centres, the DfID programme will significantly enhance the skills and formal qualifications of Vincentian youth.
