Towards gender inclusivity and youth empowerment, the National Youth Commission (NAYCOM) of Sierra Leone is exultant to announce the successful incorporation of 80 young women into non-traditional skills training. The six-month program, hosted at the prestigious Armed Forces Technical College, marks a pivotal moment in the advancement of female participation in diverse sectors.
Acknowledging the transformative impact of this initiative, the National Youth Commission expresses profound gratitude to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Sierra Leone, whose unwavering support and sponsorship have been instrumental in realizing this milestone. This partnership exemplifies a collaborative effort aimed at nurturing the potential of Sierra Leone’s youth and fostering gender equity.
The rigorous training regimen encompassed a wide array of non-traditional skills, equipping the young women with competencies vital for their professional growth and socio-economic empowerment. From technical proficiency to leadership development, the program was tailored to meet the evolving demands of the modern workforce, ensuring that the participants emerge as adept contributors to their communities and the nation at large.
Speaking on behalf of the National Youth Commission, officials expressed immense pride in the dedication and resilience exhibited by the cohort throughout their training journey. Emphasizing the pivotal role of education and skill acquisition in shaping the future of the youth, NAYCOM reaffirmed its commitment to fostering an environment conducive to holistic development and equal opportunities.
The graduation ceremony, a culmination of months of hard work and perseverance, serves as a testament to the collective determination to transcend traditional gender roles and embrace inclusivity in all spheres of society. As these young women embark on their professional endeavors, armed with newfound knowledge and skills, they epitomize the potential inherent within Sierra Leone’s youth population.
NAYCOM extends its heartfelt congratulations to the graduates and looks forward to continuing its partnership with UNDP Sierra Leone, furthering its mission of empowering youth and promoting sustainable development initiatives across the nation.
