At least thirty young Guyanese from various local communities will shortly be experiencing a novel learning opportunity designed to equip them with skills that will open up possible employment opportunities in the country’s mining and oil and gas sectors.

Stabroek Business has learnt that the recently established Institute of Engineer-ing, Geophysics & Offshore Development Services will shortly commence the delivery of a specialized programme in disciplines related to those sectors to a group of students benefitting from funding provided under the Ministry of Education’s Youth Innovation Programme of Guyana. (YIPOG).

Under the YPIOG initiative the Education Ministry had issued invitations for the submission of proposals highlighting community/societal challenges along with innovative solutions to the challenges highlighted.
