Some local businesses are keen to hire graduates of government’s nail technician programme, according to the Economy Minister.A press release from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry yesterday stated that five local businesses, “including Rosewood Tucker’s Point” have expressed a “keen interest in discussing employment opportunities” with the graduates once the programme ends in December.“This is tremendously good news and its very heartening to see local businesses stepping up to support our young Bermudians in this way,” Economy Minister Patrice Minors said.“We have had extensive discussions and consultation with experienced cosmologists in our local industry and they have all indicated that there is a need for highly skilled Bermudians in this field. So it is very gratifying to see employers playing their part by helping to get Bermudians back to work, and I want to publicly commend them for their dedication and commitment.”The press release noted that the nail technician programme is “the second job training initiative unveiled by the Minister in the past month”.“It was roughly five weeks ago that the Ministry sponsored the training of 18 young Bermudian men to travel overseas to receive their Level 5 Drywall Certification.”
