    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Industrial Training (Amendment) Bill be now read a Second Time. The objective of the Bill is to amend the Industrial Act, Cap.237 to make provisions for the Government and public institutions to offer mandatory industrial attachment to the newly graduated students in all professions who are unable to get employment upon completion of their studies. It requires the Public Service Commission (PSC) to determine the terms and service for persons undertaking the attachment in line with the existing policy framework. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill is informed by the fact that most of the young people who graduate from the institutions of higher learning end up without employment in the short- term and an opportunity to undertake internship will thus go a long way in equipping them with the requisite practical skills as they prepare to transit to the next level of education or employment. We have got many people who graduate every year and when they go outside there to seek employment, they are told that they require two to three years experience. Where do these people get experience when the Government has not created an opportunity for them to gain experience? This is the only way that is going to ensure that fresh graduates from universities gain experience that is going to ensure that when they go to the job market they are competitive. There is a shortage of nurses and yet we have thousands of nurses who are languishing at home."
