IN a continued effort to empower communities through technical education, the Board of Industrial Training (BIT), under the Ministry of Labour, on Monday, officially launched a four-month Information Technology (IT) programme at the Sabeelur Rashaad Islamic Training Centre.

The initiative welcomed 20 participants who will be equipped with foundational and practical IT skills aimed at enhancing their employability and preparing them for careers in the digital economy.
The orientation session was facilitated by BIT’s Technical Officer, Ms. Devika Ramsewak, and supported by the Centre’s Principal, Mr. Rayad Khan. The session provided an overview of the course content, expectations, and the importance of acquiring technical skills in today’s workforce.

This new collaboration builds on the successful partnership between BIT and the Training Centre, which previously completed an Electrical Installation programme in 2024. The launch of the IT course marks another milestone in expanding access to certified technical training in local communities.

The Ministry of Labour and BIT reaffirmed their commitment to supporting skills development nationwide, especially among youth and underserved populations, as part of Guyana’s broader push for workforce readiness in a modern economy.
