FIRST Lady, Mrs. Sandra Granger on Monday launched yet another Information Communication Technology (ICT) training programme; this time, in the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara Region (Region Three), to provide youths with skills in the areas of information technology, literacy and numeracy, entrepreneurship, sexual reproductive health, STEM subjects, and other soft skills.

The programme, which is being executed through a collaborative effort between the Office of the First Lady, the Ministry of Social Protection and the Board of Industrial Training (BIT), will run for four weeks and caters for 30 participants. Training sessions are conducted at the Leonora Secondary School, West Bank Demerara.

In brief remarks, the First Lady congratulated the participants for making the decision to be a part of the programme and told participants that the workshop does not only focus on ICT, but is also designed to prepare them for the world of work. “You are living in an age of technology and if you want to participate in a meaningful way in the world you are going to inherit, you have to have the knowledge of ICT,” she said.

Mrs. Granger also expressed her gratitude to the Ministry of Social Protection and the BIT for their continued support. “The beauty about this Board of the Industrial Training workshop is that it has a recognised certificate…This is why I want to challenge you to do your best to make yourselves employable… With the skill that you need to get ahead,” she said.

Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Richard Maughn encouraged the participants to embrace the opportunities afforded to them through the smart use of ICT to become productive citizens. “As individuals, you need to be able to make good use of information in this the age of ICT… information technology can empower your lives and it is our intention to make sure that every one of you achieve success,” he said.

Regional Executive Officer, Mr. Denis Jaikaran who also addressed the gathering, took the opportunity to thank the First Lady for her efforts to empower youths and expressed gratitude for having the programme launched in Region Three. He also pledged to award all students with a 90 per cent attendance rate, with prizes on behalf of the regional administration.

In an invited comment, participant, Ms. Tamara Dey said that the training affords her the opportunity of self-improvement and will help her to become an independent young individual “I’m hoping to gain the skill which I currently lack in information technology and I plan to use what I will learn to get employed,” she said.

Mr. Stavon David, another participant, said that he plans to use the workshop experience to enrol in a technical institute to further his education in the field of engineering.

Does anyone know how this works or what the criteria were? Was there an open application process then selection? I spent a lot of time on WCD and in Essequibo. This is NOT an accurate ethnic representation.

The Stench of Granger's and his Burnhamite Racism:

ICT-workshop-696x456

It will get worse after 2020's rigging.

This is quite disgraceful for a land of SIX races where Afros are only 28 Percent.

Shame on the First Lady !!!!!!!!!

Did you bother to read my earlier post asking what the process and criteria were? On one hand, rural Indo-Guyanese are known to be distrustful of anything coming from a PNC government. It's very possible fewer Indos applied. The fact that there is at least one Indo in that picture means at least one Indo applied. Now if you really wanted to help the youths in an area AND wanted to be fair, would you not have made sure you reached out to all the schools or are you telling me that is an accurate depiction of the ethnic breakdown of youths in that region? Now, on the other hand,you're a racist bigot. Some of us try to be fair here, on both sides. If it was the other way around, you would have been crying like a little girl that there must be some Afro Guyanese in that region. So you can shake whatever the ass you want.

Obviously you've not read much of what I have written here. Either that or you didn't understand. Please ask if you need help. The only anti-man here is you. You're the one obsessed with sticking things up your ass. Keep your racist bilge for scum like yourself.

Yes you do both sides.  The Indian side and the Indian side.  You studiously refuse to comment about the exclusion of blacks during the Jagdeo era.  Suddenly ethnic inclusiveness becomes an issue for you now that there is a real risk of Indian exclusion.

Now suppose I told you that someone has decided that a focus on young blacks is being made because if the PPP wins in 2020 Guyana will once again be a nation where only the worst jobs are reserved for blacks and so they might as well be as equipped to the extent that they can do to protect themselves should this era return.

When you intelligently discuss Indian racism towards blacks as D2 on many occasions tried to get people to do then you can chat about being fair.  As of now your only concern is the potential for Indian exclusion.

Even in 2018 the private sector is mainly Indian owned and is unashamedly biased in its racist treatment of blacks.  You say NOTHING on this!

It's really sad that you see me as only being pro Indo Guyanese. You fall into the same category as Ronan. The only non racists are people who subscribe to your brand of racism. Just to point something out, no where did I ever use "racist" in any of my responses in that thread. I said it was not ethically representative. It takes one of your bias to interpret that as being racist. Before you speak of the private sector being mainly Indian owned in 2018 why don't you compare the statistics under Burnham. While we all know what Jagdeo and his cronies were all about, it was always that way. So are the Indians supposed to not work hard and invest because it makes you uncomfortable? What is to prevent any Afro Guyanese from doing the same? Maybe do a socio economic study before talking nonsense.
