Over the next three years, 45,000 high-school students are expected to benefit annually from an agricultural/agri business-based entrepreneurship programme.

The Ministry of Education, Youth and Information signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), on Thursday, June 2, with Jamaica 4-H to establish clubs in all public schools, from the primary to tertiary levels.

More than 640 young people from rural communities have received training and certification in various skill areas, enabling them to take up jobs locally and overseas or create their own employment. The training was conducted under a three-year programme implemented by the Jamaica 4-H Clubs through funding from the Sugar Transformation Unit in the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries
