–after eight-week life-skill training course

THIRTY-seven youngsters are today better off for having attended an eight-week course offered by Generation Next, youth arm of the First Assembly of God church on D’Urban Street, Wortmanville.

All 37, who were successful at several life skills courses, were presented with their Certificates of Completion on Friday during a little graduation ceremony, the eighth to date, at the Generation Next headquarters on D’Urban Street.

According to Administrator, Ms Melissa McCullock, the youths were trained in cake decoration, cookery, floral arrangement and information technology.

The courses, which lasted eight weeks, McCullock said, were offered at a minimal cost, since they wanted to give youths the opportunity to be equipped with a skill so they can earn.

A rich cultural programme was laid on by Generation Next for the graduands, before they were presented with their certificates.
