“The training will be offered to 50 youths from Mulanje district who upon completion will be awarded certificate of attendance. The training sessions will commence on January 10, 2022 and will run until June 15, 2022,” said Madzi.

“It is important for the one to attend these trainings as he/she will have wider knowledge and skills on television production, graphic designing, radio production, which will enable them to earn money on their own and live independent life rather than relying on government for job offering. We want the youths to be independent, hence narrowing unemployment gab,” she explained.

She said the participants will be required to pay a small training fee, which she described as “affordable considering that we are in Covid-19 era.”
“We commend the government for always being in forefront in supporting the youths, but still more, there is a lot to be done. There is a need of collaborating effort the gap in youth empowerment if we are to develop this nation,” she said.
