Warning that too many young men are falling behind in education, employment and training, Minister of Tertiary Education and Skills Training, Prakash Persad, yesterday described the issue as a growing social crisis.
He said the Government’s new Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Industry Connection Labs and Incentive Programme must directly target struggling young males across Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean.
“Young males are not doing well. They are the ones who seem to be in some degree of distress,” Persad said at the launch of the regional initiative at the Youth Training and Employment Partnership Programme’s (YTEPP) Chaguanas headquarters.
