Morgan urges youth to apply for LEAP before Sept 15 deadline

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Government Senator Marlon Morgan is urging eligible young Jamaicans to seize the opportunity to earn while studying by applying for the HEART/NSTA Trust-facilitated LEAP (Learn, Earn, And Prosper) programme before the September 15 deadline.

“The HEART/NSTA Trust-facilitated LEAP Programme is a timely and empowering intervention by the Government as it offers young people a unique opportunity to earn a monthly stipend through internship while they pursue a post-secondary programme of study and career development to enhance their personal and professional growth,” Morgan said.

“Participants will receive a monthly stipend of between J$80,000 and J$100,000 to help offset transportation, lunch, and other living expenses. I am appealing to our young people to grasp this opportunity with both hands, and benefit from this welcomed, career-enhancing and life-impacting initiative,” he added.
