Principal of the Essequibo Technical Institute, Michael Turner, is convinced that with the recent introduction of the Heavy Duty Equipment Programme, the new subject area introduced to the curriculum late last year would augur well for both persons and prospective students between 18 and 25 years old and whose interests lie in operating and working the heavy duty equipment.
The programme is further aimed at producing sufficient heavy duty operators, especially from the Region. These potential trainees should come from areas in the Pomeroon, Bartica and Wakenaam.
They would then be eligible for employment with reputable firms that need operators of heavy duty equipment.
Turner said that money could be earned while the trainees learn a skill, especially those students who are considering venturing out and operating as an entrepreneur.
The Bobcat Equipment Programme is Turner’s brain child which received full support from members of the Board of Industrial Training/National Youth Empowerment Programme.
The programme, which is of six weeks duratio, is said to be exciting and provides individuals with practical skills and a certificate after competition. The first phase of the programme has attracted 39 persons already.
Turner said the heavy duty equipment programme teaches students how to maintain and control the equipment. At the end of the six-month programme, students are given an opportunity to exercise their newly acquired, practical skills in the employ of any reputable company.
The Essequibo Technical is into its 13th year. The Technical Institution was established in 2001 on the initiative of the late Dr. Dale Bisnauth and has a state of the art Information Technology labortory, a dormitory and an extended arm of the welding factory. (Yannason Duncan).
