More than 1,000 young people who finished their training with the Youth Service in Zimbabwe Program will start jobs soon. These jobs come from many places, like government offices across the country. This news came from a top leader at a meeting yesterday. President Mnangagwa began this program last year in Murehwa. The program teaches young adults important skills for six months.
After the meeting, Dr. Jenfan Muswere shared how well the program works. He said graduates find spots in schools, public jobs, police forces, army units, plus big projects. These projects include fixing roads, drilling wells for water, plus setting up solar power systems. Many other graduates chose to learn even more at skill centers around Zimbabwe. The government made rules saying people with these training papers go first when asking for money to start businesses through Empower Bank.
The Youth Service helps people between 18 and 35 years old. They learn life skills, business know-how, and lessons about their country, which makes them feel more connected to Zimbabwe. The program wants young adults to care about their nation, show good behavior, help others, and take part in making their communities better. Leaders created this training back in 2001 after experts studied what young Zimbabweans needed most.
These experts wrote a report in 1999 saying young people should learn more about being good citizens. The current training plan mixes lessons about Zimbabwe with practical skills for daily life. It also teaches young adults how to run businesses, which helps them find work or create their own jobs. The government believes this program builds a stronger country by giving young people both skills and pride in Zimbabwe.
