DRAW MORE YOUNG PEOPLE TO CRAFT INDUSTRY CALL BY PM.
KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 (Bernama) — Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today urged handicraft entrepreneurs to help expose more young people to the great potential the industry holds for them. The prime minister said that besides developing the art, they would also be offering jobs to the many unemployed graduates. ‘I believe that by being exposed to the industry, the young people will be drawn to the sector because of the great potential it holds for them. Then, they should be provided with suitable training. ‘Introduce them to the grand masters in the field. I am convinced there exist many people out there who may not have paper qualifications but are highly skilled to train our young people,’ he said when launching National Craft Day 2008, here. Abdullah said he was convinced that with a more organised marketing strategy, the country”s craft products could penetrate the international market more extensively.
