Nevis Trainees Return From Trinidad
Charlestown, Nevis
July 29, 2008
Minister with responsibility for Social Transformation on Nevis Hon. Hensley Daniel, together with other Cabinet colleagues, were on hand at the Charlestown Pier on July 26, 2008, to welcome the graduates who returned home from a successful three month training programme in Trinidad.
He registered his satisfaction with their performance and that he was anxious to see the difference their training in auto mechanics, plumbing, carpentry, masonry and welding would have on the community.
“We are indeed happy to welcome back our trainees and within a week we expect them to hit the ground running to put their training to good use and we have heard good things about their performance in Trinidad and this underscores another effort on behalf of the people of Nevis by the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) to build up our skills bank and to provide our young people with opportunities for development.
“Your performance tells us that we could send another group of people over there. We thank them and we look forward to feeling the weight of this training and feeling the impact in the community,” he said.
Seventeen students had left Nevis in May for training at Metal Construction Industries Ltd. (MCI) which was sponsored by the NIA. The Minister also used the opportunity to thank all who had supported the programme.
