In driving its skills programme for young people, the NYDA plans to have 1,500 young people participating in structured Youth Build programmes aimed at empowering and capacitating youth in communities. The Youth Build programme seeks to develop the academic, leadership and technical skills of young people through on-the-job training opportunities in the construction sector. It is envisaged that this programme will be expanded to other sectors such as the Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector in the medium term. In addition, 100,000 young people will be supported through the job preparedness programmes.
