Some financial assistance is given to graduates who prefer to set up their own business. The Apprenticeship Centres which were previously called Youth Camps are used for vocational training. There are five centres located throughout Trinidad and Tobago. Apart from vocational training, the centres give young people an opportunity to develop every facet of their personalities, encouraging participation in agricultural, recreational and cultural activities. Information pertaining to the commencement of courses can be obtained from the Youth Officer in your district.
Courses cover a period of two years.
Commencement of courses is due to start in 1995. Applicants should apply for only one course. The completed application form should be taken to the Regional Offices in your district where applicable. After submitting the application form, each applicant must take a written test at a venue to be identified by the District Youth Officer. Each applicant satisfying the requirements is invited for an interview at the district office.
