Django, Do you think someday they might bring a batch of Amerinds from the interior and pay all expenses(including apprenticeship) for them to get training so they can return to their villages and be productive? We always read about these training sessions being held in the cities. Who benefits from these training sessions???

There should be some consideration for the hinterland folks,if you cant bring them to the school,carry the school to them.

Wait a minute looks like there was one http://nrddb.org/about does it still exist ??

You late,haven't read my answer.

Me wonda if anyone choose annada trade, instead of going to GUYSUCO training centre.

The City and Guild  certificate is recognized internationally, especially in Canada, where there is a demand for certified trades people.

Anyone got a picture to post of the RR antique car that was rebuilt at Port Mourant training centre ?

Isn't this school a PPP initiative?  Also the much lauded MTI?

This is the approach the East Indian, the African and Amerindian youth of Guyana should take.  Get as much building construction skills, mechanical skills, and electrical skills that they can get in Guyana.  Those skills are transferable and are needed in every part of the world.  For example;  A Ugandan trained electrician was kicked out of Uganda by Idi Amin because he was East Indian.  He went to England took the British exams passed and worked in England for several years as an electrician.  Then he went to Canada and took the exams passed and is now working there as an electrician.  If you get BA, MA, MBA and Ph.D. etc it may look good on paper and on the wall that you put it on but eventually, in North America, you will have to compete with White people for jobs and the outcome may not be good for you.

Oh skites some GNI-ers seh that's low paying,bottom of the ladder skills.

Low paying? {You ever heard of a poor plumber in North America?} They and their MBA degree is getting replaced by computers and Indian outsourced labor.

Bhai,nah me seh suh.

Prash,i know the demand and pay for skilled folks.

I saved my son US$1100, he got an estimate for US$1200.The car Honda Civic overheating,was given to him by his grandmother, the overheating was fixed three months before by his grandmother at a cost of US$700.Unfortunately the problem wasn't fixed,turned out to be a bad fan.

Fixing cars is my part time hobby.

Students of Graduating class

Manager of GuySuco Training Centre Port Mourant (GTC/PM), Jainarine Sookpaul presents a trophy to one of the best-performing students

Trophy presented to best Graduating student.

it's fascinating that no 'afro' poster on this board is going to wring his/her haan, care or cuss about the (apparently) overwhelming Indo-Guyanese representation in this batch of Berbice graduates from this Gov't initiative

lesson to be learned by the ethnic bacoos tekkin lead up from the Freedom House allied race fringe

hmmmm . . .?

I once called a plumber on Saturday night to fix a pipe that burst in the cold weather and was spraying water all over the place.  The plumber stayed for one hour fixing the pipe.  Then the man charges me 500 US dollars because it was Saturday night that he was working. I regret not learning about plumbing in Guyana.
