Young Guyanese trainees from Regions One and Four are gaining practical skills through a government-run training programme and planning to use the training to start businesses. The trainees work on trades including carpentry and welding, with at least one participant already considering turning her course work into her own enterprise.
The trainees are based at the Kuru Kuru Training Centre (KKTC), located along the Soesdyke–Linden Highway. Both outlets describe the trainees as producing practical outputs as part of the programme, indicating a focus on hands-on learning rather than classroom-only instruction.
While both reports cover the same initiative, they emphasize slightly different phrasing around the trainees’ plans. INews Guyana highlights individual ambition to create business opportunities, while the Guyana Chronicle frames the development more broadly as youth seeking business prospects following completion of the training. Neither article provides detailed numbers of trainees, timelines, or funding specifics.
