Young per­sons 17-28 years, pri­mar­i­ly from East Port of Spain, and oth­er parts of Trinidad and To­ba­go, will now have an op­por­tu­ni­ty to learn about the world of work while hon­ing of their en­tre­pre­neur­ial spir­it, fol­low­ing the launch of the Dream-Chasers Ap­pren­tice­ship and Men­tor­ship Project (D-CAMP), from the Min­istry of Sport and Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment.

The in­tern­ship pro­gramme was launched of­fi­cial­ly on Mon­day 11 Ju­ly 2022, at the Bel­mont Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­tre, Jern­ing­ham Av­enue, Bel­mont.

A re­lease from the Min­istry says over the next sev­en weeks, 100 Sec­ondary- and Ter­tiary-lev­el stu­dents will ben­e­fit from life-skills train­ing, vi­sion­ing and map­ping, net­work­ing, prac­ti­cal oc­cu­pa­tion­al train­ing and tech­ni­cal ex­pe­ri­ence while build­ing re­la­tion­ships with pro­fes­sion­als in var­i­ous fields.

Min­is­ter of Sport and Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment, Sham­fa Cud­joe MP, en­cour­aged par­tic­i­pants to take the op­por­tu­ni­ty se­ri­ous­ly and make the best of the D-CAMP ex­pe­ri­ence.

“The pro­gramme is not just about the stipend you will re­ceive,” she told par­tic­i­pants at the re­cent D-CAMP launch, “but about the skills you will ob­tain, the peo­ple that you are go­ing to meet and the ex­pe­ri­ences that you are go­ing to share.”
