The Ministry of Education has embarked on aligning Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) with current and future labour market demands at both secondary and post-secondary education levels.
A release yesterday from the Ministry of Education said that a critical aspect of this project is a tracer study, undertaken in partnership with the Council for TVET. The study aims to evaluate the employment status and assess the quality of education received by TVET graduates, twelve months after their programme completion.
The release said that this evaluation will encompass graduates from the vocational streams of secondary education, including those from the Secondary Competency Certificate Programme (SCCP) and the Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ) programme, as well as graduates from public post-secondary TVET institutions.
To facilitate this study, the Ministry has engaged Groupe Cayambe, a consultancy firm. Cayambe, will be executing a series of surveys, focus groups, and individual meetings with key stakeholders.
For inquiries, members of the public can contact Deputy Chief Education Officer Technical Dr. Ritesh Tularam at dceo.technical@moe.gov.gy +592- 231-8815.
