They will be trained in various bank operations and learn and understand the needs of the less fortunate through the “Care-A-Van” aspect of the apprenticeship programme.
Upon completion of the programme, apprentices who are successful will receive the Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ) from the Caribbean Association of National Training Agencies (CANTA) through the Council for Technical & Vocational Training (CTVET).
