The Ministry of Education, through the Department of Youth Affairs will partner with Invest Turks and Caicos, The Center for Economic Development and the Young Corporate Alliance, to host the first ever Entrepreneurship Workshop. The workshop will take place on Friday, 4th March from 6:30pm-9:30pm at the Regent Palms on Providenciales, under the theme “Seize the Opportunity, Capture the Business!”
The Honourab...le Akierra Missick, Deputy Premier and Minister responsible for Youth commented that, “As the Minister with the great responsibility of promoting the growth of our youth, my Ministry continues to find ways to provide our young people with sustainable and high quality training that support their entry into entrepreneurship throughout the Islands. It is time for us to move from just training persons to become employees, and now jointly create an environment that will develop employers and sustainable businesses."
The purpose of the workshop is to educate young persons (ages 17-45) in our communities on the role of the newly established Invest Turks and Caicos;, and receive briefing on various initiatives to support the growth of small and medium business, including the soon to be launched, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Bill 2015 (MSME Bill).
Interested youth entrepreneurs are strongly encouraged to support the Youth Entrepreneurship Workshop as the Department of Youth Affairs in collaboration with Invest TCI, The Center for Economic Development (CED) and the Young Professional Alliance, make strides to cultivate an environment through programme development and community partnership to equip and empower youth in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
For more information, persons should contact the Department of Youth Affairs or Mr. Nixon Dickenson at 338 5101.
