“The strategic importance of equipping young people with skills, abilities, understanding, and work habits is a catalyst required for gainful employment and entrepreneurship. The choice of these skill sets is a deliberate attempt to make an impact in the global system.
“I urge you participants to go forth and acquire these skills and become well-grounded in the scheme. By doing so, you will become relevant decision-makers in the economy and contribute to the task of nation-building,” Mr. Bamsida explained.
