The Education Ministry in collaboration with the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), officially launched the Guyana Skills Development and Employability Project yesterday, in a collaboration meant to improve the delivery of Technical, Vocational, Education and Training (TVET) programmes locally.

This project will see seven vocational training centres and departments across seven regions benefitting from programmes meant to improve the marketability of participants.

“…the Ministry of Education in collaboration with CTVET [Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training], crafted a communication strategy which included the rolling out of the recently completed career path diagram that caters for the realization of every child achieving their dreams of becoming an engineer, becoming a doctor, a veterinarian, a lawyer…or any field that the child wishes to pursue, even at the doctoral level,” Chief Education Officer Marcel Hutson said during his address.
