Jamaica’s Minister of National Security, Dr Horace Chang, is appealing to juvenile offenders to take full advantage of the skills training and empowerment opportunities provided through the We Transform Youth Empowerment and Reintegration Programme.
Minister Chang said the programme is part of the Jamaican Government’s strategy to engage young offenders in meaningful, productive endeavours to ensure their successful reintegrating into society.
We Transform is Jamaica’s Ministry of National Security’s flagship youth transformation programme targeting offenders, aged 12 to 17, in the care of the Department of Correctional Services (DCS).
It aims to provide them with the skillsets and personal development support to become productive law-abiding citizens.
The youngsters are engaged in academics, vocational education, and employability and life skills training.
