–more than 60 managers receive leadership certificates

AS GTT continues to evolve to serve Guyana’s rapidly growing economy, it is prioritising the professional development of its workforce of over 700 employees.

According to a press release from the company, more than 140 technicians are now officially internationally certified in fibre installation by the Society of Cable Telecommunication Engineers (SCTE) after undergoing specialised training by the well-recognized body.

Additionally, more than 60 managers also received certificates for the completion of GTT’s Leadership Development Program (LDP).
Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GTT, Richard Stanton, during his remarks at a special recognition ceremony for the team at Parc Rayne on the East Bank of Demerara last Friday, said that the company has been positioning itself to provide best-in-class service to its customers while positively impacting the lives of its employees.

“The ever-increasing demand for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming, cloud computing, and virtual reality necessitates a robust and scalable infrastructure. Fibre optics delivers on this front, and we are leading the way in every area,” he said.

Jermaine Gilbert and Rockwell Scarder emerged as the top performers in their batch of the SCTE course, by both obtaining an outstanding 90 per cent on their first attempt at the examination.
“I love installing fibre and I’m definitely proud to have this certificate. I feel satisfied knowing that GTT as a company is not only investing in me as an employee but is investing in all of us and really pushing us to grow and it shows, look at what we have done as a team installing fibre across the country,” one of the beneficiaries said.

“GTT has been steadfastly working towards the goal of bringing fibre to 75 per cent of the country before the end of 2024 and is currently ahead of its target with two in every three structures having access to the company’s fibre solution,” the company said.
