The GCCI was pleased to donate to the Georgetown Training Center, Sophia, Youth Skills Training Program on Tuesday, December 20, 2022.

The Georgetown Training Centre, formerly known as the Sophia Training Centre, is a facility that allows young people to continue their education and increase their marketability that they would not have access to otherwise.

The Centre is currently working with the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sport to have the graduates’ CVQ certified. The following basic requirements must be met before the Centre can facilitate CVQ training.

The facility is required to have facilitators with a TVET level 2 certificate. Facilitators in their respective industries must have at least three years of experience. The Center must have the necessary workspace and equipment for each skill area.

The CVQ program will use a competency-based methodology to address training and evaluation. After successfully completing the program, students will receive their CVQ level one certificate from the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC), which will serve as proof of work experience and knowledge of occupational standards.

The GCCI wishes to thank the following companies for their assistance in making this donation possible.

Amaila Apartments Inc.

JTW & Associates Management Institute Inc.

Kronoco Safety Solutions

SAWA Investment Inc.
