TOTALTEC and TVET are committed to seeing all Guyana prosper from the development of our new natural resource through a highly skilled workforce. What is required now are the right systems and processes to ensure that all barriers to entry are removed for local people to have access to the skills and training necessary to enter the workforce. We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation with TVET.”
