Did you know…
 …that
Steps-to-Work, a social protection program implemented by the
Government of Jamaica has already provided over 4,000 persons with training in entrepreneurial and job readiness skills to become self-reliant? The project, funded and supported by the
World Bank and the
Inter-American Development Bank, assists working-age adults in poor households to seek and retain employment thus reducing their dependence on state assistance and strengthening the fight against inter-generational transmission of poverty.
