Participants will learn practical skills and entrepreneurial expertise in eight trades, including nail artistry, brick manufacture, animation, hairdressing, catering, sewing, baking, and barbering.This year, the project has taken a more targeted approach, focusing on five regions: Otjozondjupa, Kunene, Omusati, Kavango East, and Kavango West.
