Those who successfully complete online courses under the government’s Work-force Recovery Initiative will be issued certificates by the Ministry of Education (MoE) that will be recognised by both private and public sector employers following the signing of a key agreement yesterday.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by the MoE, the Ministry of Public Service, and the Private Sector Commission to ensure that persons who take advantage of the courses would be employable and have their certificates of completion recognised for the particular skill studied.
The Government of Guyana through the MoE in collaboration with The Common-wealth of Learning is making a wide variety of short courses on the Coursera learning platform available free of cost until December 31st 2020. The intention is to provide free online training opportunities to the general population to improve their skills and competencies to enable them to improve performance and employability.
