Group of Students Receive Computer Certificates

St. Maarten Youth Development Program is a second chance educational program that aims to train youngsters between the ages of 16 and 24 years who were unable to complete secondary education. The goal of the program is to provide these youngsters with start qualifications so that they can enter the labor market or further their education at the SBO/ASVE. The program is executed by DERPI and fully funded by Usona.
