MASERU – In an attempt to build a strong database for youth, the National Volunteer Corps (NVC) programme in the form of a portal is up and running.
The programme under the Ministry of Gender, Youth and Social Development is part of efforts by the government, through this Ministry, to ensure that unemployed youth graduates and others are accommodated, Minister Pitso Lesaoana has said.
According to the Minister, it is through this portal that the youth are expected to login and register with the aim to showcase their skills and knowledge so that they could be placed in different fields of their relevance.
He mentioned that opportunities will be given to youth for a period of three years, after which the database will be cleansed to allow the next batch to be incorporated. “Do not lose hope as yet for the government is doing all it can possibly do to hear the voices of the youth.” He stressed…AM/BM
