At least 40 youths aged 18 to 32 from Apac District and Apac Municipality are set to enroll for vocational training at the Lango Presidential Zonal Skilling Hub in Lira City.

The group includes 22 boys and 18 girls. Of these, 11 girls and 9 boys are from Apac District, while 7 girls and 13 boys hail from Apac Municipality.

Jonal Okot, the Assistant Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Apac, who represented RDC Andrew Onyuk at the flag off ceremony of the students, appreciated parents for entrusting their children to the government program.

He also thanked President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for prioritizing youth empowerment through skilling.

Okot said the trainees will undertake courses in carpentry and joinery, tailoring and garment cutting, shoemaking, hairdressing, among others.
