The Occupational Training Act, which governs the apprenticeship system, is expected to be overhauled this year as the government updates the technical and vocational training framework in response to modern learning styles and workplace demands.

Minister of Labour Colin Jordan revealed the plans during a panel discussion at the Barbados Coalition of Service Industries (BCSI) Business Forum on Friday at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill School of Business.

He later expanded on the initiative in an interview with Barbados TODAY.
