Thursday 13th November, 2008, St Georges: The Ministry of Works has opened a number of outreach offices in various parishes where Grenadians can apply for various areas of work which falls under the ministry.
The offices opened today, Tuesday November 11, 2008 at the Sandino Block Plant (First building on the left of Entrance to Lanse Aux Pines) in St. George, the IDC Building, Sauteurs, St. Patrick, La Sagesse Playing Field Pavilion in St. David and at the St Mark’s Playing Field Pavillion.
Outreach offices in St John’s, St Andrew’s and Carriacou will be opened at a later date due to ongoing work on building’s which will house the operation. Persons interested in participating in the ongoing Debushing Programme can register at the Government of Grenada Outreach Offices to be part of the selection process.
“We will also be using these offices to build a database of persons who may be seeking employment on the road projects but who are qualified for other forms of training or even scholarships,” said of Works, Physical Development, Public Utilities and the Environment on, Hon. Joseph Gilbert.
The Ministry plans to offer other services at these offices in the future. Minister Gilbert says the public will be kept informed as the services are expanded.

The structure for these programs were already there. The past government had offices for people to go and give their names and collect forms to participate in training programs for which a monetary incentive was given. As for the book program, the past tgov't had books that were rented out to the families of parents who couldn't afford to purchase them, but in exssence, most people came and got their free books. So, these are not 'new changes' as Gabe will like to suggest, but a continuation of what was already there. I am not condemning the new government for doing that - I applaud them, because they see the merit in such programs and see the need to have them continued!

This government came in on the ticket of change and so far some of the things that they have done sounds good to me for example the idea of this new ministry of works outreach offices where our out of work people can enroll and seek some sort of employment has got to be good providing that it is maintained and the office is functional and productive and also the selection process is done on the principle that its not who you know but what they can do for you because too often for example when road works is being handed out (in the past) its always who you know and which political party you support that gets you the job
so lets hope that the Changes we voted for begins here,And another thing it is nice to see that ministers are now taking responsibilty of their own ministry when dealing with issues which affect their ministry, because like in the case of the previous government whenever there was any issue for talk /discussion the man who you always see on tv or hear on the radio, well nearly everytime is not the minister responsible but the prime minister one KCM so it is good to see that these ministers in person representing their ministry and is held accountable
is this another Change i see, if so it is long overdue
grenadians we are moving forward
one
love.
