My name is Ravi Persaud and I reside in Pomeroon-Supenaam (Region Two I first heard of the Board of Industrial Training in 2013 through a family member and in that same year I registered to do Welding and Fabrication. Today, thanks to the Board of Industrial Training, I am certified and was given a chance to work as a tutor at the Essequibo Technical Institute.

I love what I do and would always encourage others to learn a skill. To date, I have trained more than thirty-five persons at ETI and all of them have graduated and are moving onto greater things. I was trained, now I am employed with the ability to care for toy family and it feels wonderful. Young people grab every opportunity the Government is offering, through the Board of Industrial Training, I did it and you can too.
