Enabling Workforce Development
The National Training Agency of Trinidad & Tobago (NTA) is charged with the responsibility for the coordination and harmonization of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Trinidad and Tobago. The NTA's mandate is to ensure that Trinidad and Tobago has a highly skilled, certified and competent workforce to support competitive performance in the global economy. The basis for the development of this workforce involves fostering partnerships; not only with government but also with industry and training providers.
One of the NTA's primary functions is to partner with industry to develop occupational standards and to quality assure the implementation of the Trinidad and Tobago National Vocational Qualification (TTNVQ) and the Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ). The NTA is responsible for the certification and award of these qualifications. Additionally, labour market analysis and surveys are conducted and reports are used to guide the labour market and identify the demand and supply for skilled and trained workers.
To ensure that the key functions of the NTA are industry focused, the NTA's approach is to establish Sector Advisory Committees (SAC). The partnerships with industry and institution are critical to ensuring the relevance, validity and reliability of skills development packages which in turn influence the development of curricula and competency-based training and assessment. This approach and practice ensures that employees/ trainees meet the requirements of the workplace and can in fact function in a competent manner. The end result is that Trinidad and Tobago can be assured of a workforce that is competent and competitive.
