Twenty-two youths were the first to graduate in the Northern Division from the Young Entrepreneurs Scheme Training in Labasa today.
The Minister for Industry, Trade, Tourism, Land and Mineral Resources Faiyaz Koya officiated at the closing of the four day training which began on Monday.
“The Young Entrepreneurs Scheme (YES) is one targeted towards empowering our young Fijians,” Koya said.
“Now we have laid the foundations with policies such as free education, free bus fares and free scholarships and loans schemes all geared towards many tens of thousands of bright young people to reach their full potentials.”
