WHITE HORSES, St. Thomas:
THE FORMER Bailey's Beach Hotel in Yallahs is to transformed into a hospitality training facility to provide a variety of skills training programmes.
Speaking at a constituency conference in White Horses recently, Member of Parliament for Western St. Thomas, Anthony Hylton, said preliminary investigation into such a possibility was being worked out.
Mr. Hylton spoke against the background of the need for more young people in the parish to acquire skills. He said, for example, that vacancies existed for women under the farm work programme, but many were unable to take up the opportunity because they were not skilled. Pointing to HEART/NTA, Mr. Hylton said individuals trained in those institutions were taking the jobs. "You need to be trained. In this environment if you don't get training you will be left behind. Make use of the training facilities", the MP urged.
