The Ministry of Natural Resources continues its commitment to enhancing the jewellery making sector by graduating a new batch of students from the Guyana Mining School’s jewellery making courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, 34 students completed their training in both introductory and intermediate jewellery making courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among them were 19 individuals from the introductory course and 15 from the intermediate level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, 10 of the introductory course graduates hailed from hinterland regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, nine graduates were selected for apprenticeships with private sector businesses, including Kings Jewellery World and Jacobs\u2019 Jewellery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proprietors of these companies expressed their support for the training initiative and outlined how other businesses could contribute to the development of skilled jewellers in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Looknauht Persaud, proprietor of King\u2019s Jewellery, there is a noticeable demand for skilled jewellers, and the formal training provided by the Guyana Mining School offers a valuable foundation for developing high-quality artisans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that the experience of working with leading jewellers would provide the apprentices with insights into the industry\u2019s standards and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephen Jacobs, proprietor of Jacob\u2019s Jewellery, also highlighted the importance of structured training programmes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He expressed enthusiasm about integrating trained individuals into the workforce and emphasized the exceptional nature of formal jewellery training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The graduates were addressed by representatives from the Guyana Mining School and the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), who emphasized the significance of their new skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newell Dennison, Commissioner at GGMC, encouraged the graduates to view their apprenticeship as an opportunity for personal growth and continuous development in the art of jewellery making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-month training programme covered fundamental skills including drawing, wiring, filing, sanding, and working with precious stones and metals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative is part of a broader effort to rekindle interest in traditional jewellery making skills among younger generations, with over 200 participants having benefited from the courses at various levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
