A Youth Business and Entrepreneurship Training Workshop will take place later this month, targeting twenty-five students from the Barrouallie Technical Institute.
The students will gain first-hand knowledge and experience in business operations and entrepreneurship through the workshop, hosted by the Centre for Enterprise Development.
