While giving his contributions in the Senate yesterday, he said that one programme from the 38 he went through, namely Fuse, costed $74,000 per student for 3 months. Senator Nakhid remarked that very few of those said programmes could have allowed young men and women to enter the job market. Cummings said the programmes were part of the PNM government’s youth policy to create training opportunities in a short time to treat with an immediate problem. </span>
