CANTA is the Caribbean Association of National Training Agencies

The need for the coordination and rationalization of TVET and the move to establish a Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME) including proposals for the free movement of CERTIFIED skilled labour, have prompted National Training Agencies (NTAs) in the region to exploit the benefits of joint and concerted efforts by establishing among themselves The Caribbean Association of National Training Agencies (CANTA).
