Guyana’s Ministry of Education’s TVET unit signs two memoranda of understanding to expand structured industrial training for students, including hands-on attachments and support for participating trainees. The MoUs are executed at the ministry’s Brickdam, Georgetown office and involve the New Amsterdam Technical Institute (NATI) and the Guyana Industrial Training Centre (GITC).
One MoU connects NATI with Raffik & Sons Construction Inc., based in Region Six, to host NATI students across engineering, business, and building disciplines. The arrangement includes site visits, live demonstrations, presentations, and internships, with the construction firm working with NATI to align curriculum with current construction-sector skill needs. A second MoU links GITC with NTS Amega Atlantic Inc., a supplier tied to Guyana’s oil and gas industry, to provide trainee attachments supported by tools, equipment, and personal protective gear, plus workshops and guest lectures.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis rather than core details, with all describing the two MoUs, the institutions involved, and the intent to strengthen TVET through cooperation with private-sector partners.
