President David Granger says that public servants must upgrade their training continuously if they are to remain relevant to the new emerging economy and that trade unions have a responsibility in this process.
He was speaking at the opening of the 23rd Biennial Congress of the 96-year-old Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) held at the Baridi Benab, State House on September 25.
The President, who is functioning in a caretaker capacity prior to fresh general elections, spoke of change and the need for adaptation as necessary for survival. He noted that change was taking place rapidly and transforming the nature of the workplace so that workers who are not prepared for the continuous changes in the field and office could find their careers retarded and their service redundant.
