PUTRAJAYA: The Youth and Sports Ministry, through the Youth and Sports Skills Training Institute (ILKBS), is organising the Skills for Life programme to empower youths with additional skills.
Its Minister Hannah Yeoh said the programme will be held on weekends throughout February and March, using the Do It Yourself method.
“The Skills for Life programme offers basic skills training to the community, especially youths from the B40 and M40 groups, as well as at-risk and minority youths and those who are already working aged 40 and below.
“A total of 22 activities are planned by 22 selected ILKBS nationwide, which include basic electrical maintenance; basic vehicle and air conditioning repairs; hair cutting; traditional cooking; sewing clothes and smartphone photography,” she told reporters after officiating the 2023 Skills for Life programme, here.
