The programme has been designed to give young people the opportunity to gain knowledge of various alternative fields of work, so that they can be motivated to contribute towards the well-being of the nation as a whole. The programme will promote elements of development, transferral of skills, job creation, social cohesion and poverty alleviation. Sessions with the youth, showcasing different job fields in catering, fashion, make-up, the performing arts and how to start and sustain a business will form part of the event.
