TVET STRATEGY FOR ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES

The College currently offers nine full-time programmes and evening studies in technical and vocational disciplines. The College, which began with under 100 students at its inception, has greatly increased its numbers. It has a complement of 26 full-time and part-time teaching staff. The College is proud of its alumni, functioning at the highest level of business and technology.

As a part of a three-year development project with STABEX 2000-2003, the University of Technology (UTECH), Jamaica was given the mandate to reform and upgrade the quality of the training programmes at the Technical College. The need to upgrade the College is intimately connected with the social and economic development of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. With the new thrust in technical and vocational education and training (TVET), the economy will benefit from the skilled manpower, which is required for future growth.
