Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74382, member: 636"] Over 300 people just finished up at some vocational center outside Harare, and the government showed up to tell them their new carpentry and mechanics skills should keep them off drugs while building the economy. Youth minister Tino Machakaire basically said learning a trade gives you purpose beyond getting wrecked on substances, which is apparently becoming a bigger problem with younger crowds across the country. They launched a tech hub at the same event that's supposed to pump out climate-focused digital entrepreneurs with backing from the EU and UNICEF. The facility will train graduates in green tech and sustainable business models, which seems like the standard development pitch these days. Provincial officials praised everyone for sticking it out through the program despite whatever obstacles they faced getting certified. [/QUOTE]
