Menongue – The governor of Cuando Cubango, Jose Martins, today, Friday, in the city of Menongue, urged the young people to bet on technical and professional training and small businesses, in order to promote self-employment.
The governor’s encouragement was expressed during the act that marked the delivery of 50 different professional kits to an equal number of young people and another 19 who benefited from micro-credits worth 300,000 kwanzas, for the promotion of small businesses.
On the occasion, the governor of Cuando Cubango, José Martins, praised the initiative of the Action Plan for the Promotion of Employability (PAPE), which since the launch of this project in 2019 has already made it possible to create in its area of jurisdiction 1,390 direct jobs and two indirect jobs for youth.
José Martins also requested the entities to extend the project to the other six municipalities, of the nine that make up the province of Cuando Cubango, so that youth also have the opportunity to create their small businesses.
In his turn, the general director of the National Vocational Training Institute (INEFOP), Manuel Mbagui, assured that next week the technicians of the institution he heads will work with the administrations that have not yet benefited, for the inclusion of young people in these PAPE projects.
