The Government Technical Institute (GTI) is collaborating with three Canadian universities—Durham College, College of North Atlantic and the Marine Institute—to introduce a new course in auto electronics from September this year.
The initiative, GTI’s Acting Principal Renita Crandon-Duncan told Stabroek Business earlier this week, is designed to continue to reflect the relevance of the institution as a facility that seeks to keep Guyana abreast of relevant technology. According to the Crandon-Duncan, the initiative seeks to respond to the continuing emergence of new auto technology and the scarcity of skills to respond to what, often, are the complex electronics-related issues that arise in the servicing and repairing of the vehicles.
The initiative, she says, is intended for region-wide implementation but is being piloted by Guyana under the Caricom for Education and Employment Project.
