The SET programme was announced by Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves on December 10, when he presented the estimates of revenue and expenditure for the 2014 budget, at a sitting of Parliament.

Gonsalves stated that EC$1.5 million will be allocated to the programme, which will employ 80 university and Community College graduates for a year. (BK)
