Twenty young men and women graduated from the Level 2 City and Guilds Welding Programme, an initiative spearheaded by the Human Services and Social Security Ministry in partnership with Nations Inc.
The programme offered under the Women’s Innovation and Investment Network (WIIN), is part of ongoing efforts to equip individuals with marketable skills to boost employment opportunities and economic empowerment. The graduation ceremony on Thursday was held at the Nations School of Technology Training Centre, located on North Road, Georgetown.
In a post on the Ministry’s social media page, it was stated that all graduates had previously completed Level 1 of the course earlier this year. With the successful completion of Level 2, they are now internationally certified welders, making them eligible for both local and overseas employment in the growing technical and construction industries.
Human Services and Social Security Minister, Dr Vindhya Persaud, handed over certificates to the graduates during a brief ceremony.
The Level 2 certification, awarded by the globally recognised City and Guilds of London Institute, signals a new chapter for the graduates, many of whom are now seeking job placements or looking to pursue advanced technical training.
