Training Governor Schneider announced that he has signed a contract worth 300,000 dollars to initiate a unique program in the Virgin Islands. This project will train young people in the skills of landscaping and horticulture. More importantly their classroom lessons will be about how to run a business, get licenses and business operations. The idea is to create entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs are the backbone of the economy, they create new jobs.
This program is going to create new landscaping and horticultural businesses. The Department of Education has announced the dates of school to make up for lost days.
