Minister of Educations Says There Are Not Enough Jobs for the Graduating Class of 2018

Montserrat’s Minister of Education has been explaining the employment and training options for secondary school leavers.

Minister Delmaude Ryan explained that there are not enough jobs for graduates, a situation which will require them to enter into short term employment and training programmes to build their skills and knowledge.

She was addressing 5th formers at the end of a three day school leaver’s seminar on Friday.

Minister Ryan says the revamped Youth Apprenticeship Program will now allow for work experience up to 2 years, compared to that of the 6-8 months that was previously offered.

The Programme restarts on July 1st.
