Georgetown: First Lady, Mrs. Sandra Granger, Friday attended the closing ceremony of the Self-Reliance and Success in Business workshop in Mahaica-Berbice (Region Five) at the Regional Board Room, Fort Wellington, Berbice.
The First Lady, in her remarks praised the participants for committing to successfully completing the training and believing in themselves. “You are the people who make these workshops possible and successful. It starts with you believing in yourself first and in your capacity to do things and move on and develop [by] believing in lifelong education,” Mrs. Granger said.
Mrs Granger also noted the importance of having a recognised certificate backed by strong business entrepreneurial skills. “One of the benefits from this project is that Interweave stays with you… the certificate you have gained is a certificate that is recognised by the Small Business Bureau, by IPED, and other institutions…and you will have their full support.”
Invited guest speaker, Ms. Janice Whyte who is an expenditure planning and management analyst attached to the Regional DemocraticCouncil gave the participants words of guidance on having a successful business by implementing what they would have learned during the course of the workshop. “Do what you know [and] do what you like best. What you get out of your business, will be what you put into that business…Take what you do seriously and grow,” Ms. Whyte said.
