| – GMSA PresidentArrangements are currently being finalised for the implementation of a comprehensive Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)-funded labour market intelligence study. This disclosure was recently made by President of the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association, Clinton Williams, who doubles as Chairman of the Guyana Council for Technical and Vocational Education.His comments came on Monday during the start of a three-day Strategic Planning Work aimed at developing a national Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) plan.Clinton WilliamsAccording to Williams,Jerseys From China, the study is being undertaken in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour,Carolina Panthers Authentic Jerseys, Human Services and Social Security along with the partnership of the private sector and labour unions.The venture is designed to target and analyse the main sectors,Yeezy Boost 350 China Wholesale, including manufacturing, forestry, hospitality, commerce, education and construction.Moreover, the focus of the survey will be the determination of demand and supply of adequately skilled artisans, that is,Wholesale Jerseys, entry level skills for the named sectors.“It is our fervent wish that the workshop would provide us with necessary tools and techniques in our quest to realise our vision and mission,” Williams saidHe added that there is optimism within the Council that moves being engaged will foster maximum compatibility, not only between the range and quality of skills that are being generated, but also in the realisation of international competitiveness, with respect to competency levels being attained for all skills generated in both the public and private sectors.Williams said that the move to develop TVET in Guyana is coming at a time when the Council is in the process of introducing several innovative mechanisms that will have a national impact.Among these are the implementation of competency-based training and education programmes across the country, for both formal and non-formal education institutions; the implementation of a national strategy of assessment and certification and the implementation of quality assurance guidelines for Guyana to be recognised as an accreditation body for the Caribbean Vocational Qualification, among others.Williams said Guyana has been recording Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in excess of five per cent per annum over the past four years. The main sectors which have been contributing to this performance are mining (particular gold and diamond), wholesale and retail trades, building and construction and information and communication technology.“All of these sectors have been experiencing growth in excess of 20 per cent, but unfortunately, in all these sectors there have been reported significant skills shortages, which have further been compounded as a result of the undesirable increasing phenomenon of what I would call skills poaching between sectors, not to mention migration.”Also in traditional sectors such as sugar, rice,Cheap Basketball Jerseys China, sea foods and forestry there have been significant skills shortages, the GMSA President said,Adam Shaheen Jersey, adding that the resulting negative effects include: high prices locally for commodities, in addition to consequential competitive disadvantages in the export market for these products.Williams said that against this background new sectors are emerging. These include hydropower,Wholesale Shoes China Free Shipping, mining in manganese and spin-off industries from the Low Carbon Development Strategy such as eco-tourism.“These new sectors would therefore only add to what I have described as a dire national skills development syndrome,” Williams said.He said that in order to address this dilemma, the Council in collaboration with the Statistical Bureau recently conducted a skills demand survey within the mining sector. This was done in response to the specific request as it relates to the current manpower resource issues within this sub-sector under the current Cdn$200 million Caribbean Education for employment project. |
