The learners from different schools were offered the learnerships in September last year after they attended a two-day empowerment programme in Warner Beach.

Amanzimtoti Trauma Unit’s Chanee Swales said teaching young people about business is of great importance if the economy of the country is to grow.

“It is okay to start small and any business idea can be nurtured. That is the message we are passing on to young people,” said Swales.

In a joint statement, Amanzimtoti Trauma Unit and Kingsburgh Child Welfare extended their appreciation to Klia Business and Technology Solutions for the opportunity it offered to young people.

The learnership programme runs for 12 months.
