CBTF ANTICIPATING A FOURTH CYCLE
Male graduands outstrip the females in the third cycle of the Competency-Based Training Fund (CBTF)…
This was revealed by Manager of the CBTF, Anderson Lowe, as he spoke to graduates at Hilton Barbados Resort, at Needham’s Point, St. Michael;-
Mr. Lowe explained that funding for programmes was awarded on a competitive basis and only those proposals achieving the highest scores would be selected for funding. He also gave some words of encouragement for those receiving certification;-
CBTF is an initiative designed to better equip Barbadian workers with the skills and competencies needed to excel in a rapidly changing world. It requires employers and training Institutions to form partnerships to access the funds for primarily training persons employed in the particular organisation.
The employer and training provider must submit joint training proposals to the CBTF indicating, among other things, the type of training; the funding required; the assessment to be performed; and the certification to be issued at the end of the training.
