    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to also support this Motion. I come from a constituency with large-scale farmers of flowers and other horticultural products. You find many young people who go looking for jobs there have no formal education certificates, but they spend a lot of their time in the farms doing jobs that graduates and diploma holders do. Occasionally whenever there is a shortage of rain, those young people are chased away and leave with nothing. This kind of training and testing will benefit them a lot. We are talking about creating a generation of professionals through what is now referred to in this Motion an apprenticeship. We know there is so much potential in the industrial mission of this country. We know that one of the agenda is industrialisation and manufacturing but, the people who perform the basics in manufacturing or industrialisation are people who have no certificates. Those people undergo industrial training within the confines of the industry and eventually perform the job. I know that the Government has put much emphasis on trying to create opportunities for internship. Internship is good but what of those who have no certificates, diplomas or graduates? If this country has to move forward and with a lot of speed, it is high time we gave an opportunity to the people who are talented but who never succeeded in formal education. Those are youth in our constituencies. So, those centres are going to be a good opportunity for testing those young men and women and to give them certificates so that they can go out there and compete for jobs in the other areas of enterprises."
