YTEPP, TIATT Partner To Create Tourism Jobs For Trainees

The Youth Training and Employment Partnership Programme (YTEPP) and the Tourism Industry Association of T&T (TIATT) have formalised a partnership aimed at creating employment opportunities for trainees within the tourism sector.

Minister of Tertiary Education and Skills Training, Professor Prakash Persad, says the Government is working to eliminate the silo approach among tertiary institutions and reduce duplication across the country’s education and training system.

“We are reducing the amount of duplication that there is. We can’t duplicate, at all levels, at university levels, at the technical training institutes also. That is what we are doing, and the programme is in place, and very shortly, we will announce publicly that an articulation agreement with all the institutions will come together so we can be more effective using the taxpayers’ dollars more effectively in training people.”
