NESC Technical Institute has signed Statements of Intent with three Guyanese technical institutes.

The signings took place on August 23rd, following a three-day visit to Trinidad by principals and faculty from Georgetown Technical Institute, Linden Technical Institute, and New Amsterdam Technical Institute.

The institutions have each agreed to enter discussions with NESC-TI regarding collaboration on the development and conduct of a needs assessment of unskilled and semi-skilled workers, the establishment of a system of competency assessment and skills development as well as other related initiatives to address Guyana’s labour training needs.

The visiting delegations toured NESC-TI campuses at Point Lisas, Ste Madeleine and Woodford Lodge, Chaguanas, and interacted with experts in welding, drilling rig operations, electrical and instrumentation and IT.

NESC-TI President Kern Dass said, “Regional collaboration in technical education is a learning process for us all and NESC is available to support and enhance efforts aimed at contributing to the development of technical skills.”

In February 2023, the National Energy Skills Center was conferred the title of Technical Institute by the Accreditation Council of T&T.

As a result, the institution was officially renamed NESC Technical Institute.
