## Resource

Guyana’s Ministry of Human Services and Social Security has launched a groundbreaking free training program in Mahdia, Region Eight, called the Certificate in Paraprofessional Social Services, aimed at boosting social work capacity in underserved hinterland areas. Partnering with the Guyana Association of Professional Social Workers and the University of Guyana, this accredited course offers foundational training to locals, opening doors to real careers in social services. Minister Dr. Vindhya Persaud stressed the vital role social workers play in child protection, family welfare, and combating domestic violence, highlighting how trained professionals in remote regions like Regions One, Seven, Eight, and Nine can build safer communities. Graduates will be eligible for positions within the Ministry, including roles with the Childcare and Protection Agency or Survivor Advocate Programme. This initiative isn’t just about skills—it’s about investing in human capital as Guyana’s economy grows, ensuring no community is left behind in accessing essential support services.
