A NEW batch of 41 potential prison officers will commence a 12-week Basic Recruit Training Course (BRTC) on Monday at the Prison Training Centre in Lusignan.
These recruits were selected from several regions across Guyana following intensified efforts by the Guyana Prison Service (GPS) Recruitment Board to attract high-quality candidates.
The board conducted multiple recruitment drives across the country, drawing a significant number of potential candidates from diverse backgrounds.
The 12-week training programme will provide the recruits with both theoretical and practical knowledge of prison management, equipping them with the necessary skills to excel in their roles.
Director of Prisons, Nicklon Elliot, welcomed the recruits and encouraged others to consider joining the profession. His remarks highlighted the ongoing efforts of the GPS to strengthen its workforce and ensure the highest standards of operation within the prison system.
