Minister of Tertiary Education and Skills Training, Professor Prakash Persad, says the Government is taking steps to ensure Trinidad and Tobago’s workforce remains competitive in an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and technological change.
Addressing concerns about jobs being displaced by artificial intelligence, he said his Ministry is implementing strategies designed to equip citizens with industry-relevant skills and create pathways for continuous learning.
The Minister explained that micro-credentials are designed to support lifelong learning by allowing individuals to acquire specific skills through shorter courses while building qualifications over time.
