On October 19, 2025, the Government launched a National Recruitment Drive and promoted a new online hiring platform under the EmployTT domain.
At the time, the Prime Minister publicly announced that the initiative would provide more than 20,000 job opportunities across Trinidad and Tobago and asked citizens to register online and upload résumés, or visit physical registration hubs for assistance.
The response was immediate. Within hours of the website being launched, 30,000 applied.
