OPPOSITION SENATOR Foster Cummings is calling on parents and young people to demand the government reinstate the programmes geared towards training young people, such as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Youth Agricultural Homestead Programme (YAHP).

Cummings made the call while speaking to the media after signing the condolence book for the late independent senator Deoroop Teemal at the Red House, Port of Spain, on August 4.

“Why would you stop all the youth development programmes that were designed to train and equip our young people and provide them with the ability to attract better jobs or enable self-employment?
