Youth Minister, Lisa Hanna, says next month she’ll be tabling a revised youth policy in parliament aimed at synchronizing Government strategy with the 21st century approach of young professionals to technology and job creation.

The Youth Minister says the revised policy will also set a framework towards enhancing the environment where technology and social media are used for professional advancement

Minister Hanna says the improved policy will demonstrate an awareness that many modern day professionals no longer pay extensive attention to traditional sources for information and professional development.

According to the Youth Minister the revised policy follows extensive consultation and is aimed at bolstering the efficiency of employment and training programmes at agencies including the National Youth Service, NYS and the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission, JCDC.
