Earlier today, Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat delivered opening remarks at the launch of the Youth in Natural Resources Apprenticeship Program 2024.

This annual initiative, organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources, is designed to spark interest among young adults in the fields of mining, forestry, and oil and gas.
The program aims to enhance Guyana’s human resources by encouraging youth to pursue careers that can have a positive impact on the nation’s growing natural resources sector.
Over the course of the next month, participants will have the opportunity to engage with industry stakeholders and take part in various activities designed to provide hands-on experience and insight into the sector.
