This research revealed there is a sense of urgency within the business sector for a manpower plan for TT.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry said, \u201cWhat the research identified was existence of skills gaps in areas within the local labour market. This has also been confirmed by various surveys such as the World Bank\u2019s Enterprise Survey 2010 and the Ministry of Labour and Small and Micro Enterprise Development\u2019s Vacancy Survey Report 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former, the ministry continued, said 30 per cent of firms in TT stated that an inadequately educated workforce was a major constraint to business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA National Manpower Plan would therefore serve to tackle these problems across the board within the education and employment systems of TT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The objectives of the plan include closing the skills gap between labour demand and supply, reform of the education and training system to provide appropriate \/ certifiable paths for students with varying abilities, establishment of a database or national registry of skilled individuals to be used for identification of certified skilled people and the measurement of the inventory of skills in TT, career guidance to manage the expectation of entrants into the job market and to promote lifelong learning. .<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newsday.co.tt\/2023\/03\/06\/planning-ministry-seeks-consultant-for-national-manpower-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>image: pexels-tima-miroshnichenko<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trinidad and Tobago THE Planning and Development Ministry is inviting proposals for a consultancy service for the development of a National Manpower Plan.
