The TVET Control Centre

The National TVET Control Centre is an online integrated database solution designed to manage TVET information. This is in line with Government’s plan to create a more coherent training system as it would facilitate the assessment and reorganization of existing skills training programmes.

The objectives of the National TVET Control Centre would be to provide and manage information on TVET Training, TVET skills, job vacancies, job opportunities and training needs. It creates a web-based environment that allows controlled access by different types of users.
User types would include students, training providers, employers / industry, government ministries and the general public. For the first time, Trinidad and Tobago would be exposed to real time TVET information.

The TVET Control Centre is currently online and undergoing testing in accordance with the phases.
Phase 4 is near completion as feedback from testing is being used to modify some aspects on the Control Centre.
