The Minister of Defence, the Honourable Wayne Sturge has assured young people that the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) programme has not been shut down. His clarification came after reports circulated that 72 of the programme’s 114 employees will have their contracts ended on July 31. He also revealed that the CCC has not had an intake of students since January, while the Governement has been spending approximately $2.5 million monthly to keep the programme running. Minister Sturge met with Sport and Youth Affairs Minister, Phillip Watts to discuss the matter and the decision was made at that time. The CCC and other similar programmes are currently being transferred from the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs to the Ministry of Defence.
