Young trainee Aliya McLellon said joining the Youth Entrepreneurial Skills Training Programme offered by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport is an opportunity to step outside traditional expectations and develop a skill she can use to build her future.

McLellon, who enrolled in the plumbing programme at the Georgetown Training Centre in Sophia, shared with the Department of Public Information (DPI) that her interest was inspired by the male members of her family who are involved in technical trades.

McLellon is among 125 young people who have enrolled in the sixth batch of the programme.
