On Saturday, July 11, 2026, the Honourable Roger Alexander, Member of Parliament for Tunapuna, made a significant gesture of support towards youth empowerment. He engaged with participants of a Barbering Skills Course, a programme aimed at equipping young men with practical, marketable skills. Alexander’s involvement underlines his commitment to this initiative, which embodies a broader pledge to youth development.
The course is not merely about teaching barbering skills. It’s a conduit for creating meaningful opportunities through skills training. The programme’s design ensures participants gain hands-on experience, a critical aspect often missing in conventional courses.
This initiative goes beyond simple employment. It seeks to encourage entrepreneurship and self-employment among its participants. This approach fosters personal growth, a key aspect of the programme’s broader commitment to youth development.
The programme’s ultimate goal is to help young men build a sustainable future. By instilling in them a sense of entrepreneurship and equipping them with marketable skills, the Barbering Skills Course represents a significant step towards that future.
