HEART/NSTA Trust已将三个二级培训项目转为在线授课,这是CARICOM一项试点项目的一部分,旨在推动整个地区技术与职业教育培训标准对接。
Jamaica与Grenada、Barbados以及Trinidad and Tobago共同参与该项目。这些课程已放在该机构的Moodle学习平台上,并自5月18日起在指定HEART/NSTA Trust机构可供使用。
上线课程包括HEART College of Beauty Services的二级蜡疗技术、HEART College of Construction Services的二级瓷砖铺设,以及HEART College of Hospitality Services的二级面包师和蛋糕技术。HEART/NSTA Trust表示,计划到2027年3月将至少另外10个项目转为数字格式。
这一进展是在CARICOM TVET Digitalisation Project闭幕峰会上公布的。峰会于上周在New Kingston的The Jamaica Pegasus酒店举行。HEART Trust董事总经理Dr Taneisha Ingleton表示,鉴于许多Jamaica青年未就业、未上学也未接受培训,这项工作十分紧迫。
“截至2025年7月,Statistical Institute of Jamaica的劳动力数据显示,Jamaica约25.5%的青年未就业、未接受教育或培训。对HEART/NSTA Trust而言,这一数字承载着机构责任的分量。这是一项使命:扩大准入、增强灵活性,并确保技能与认证路径能够惠及最需要的人群,”她表示。
Ingleton表示,该项目应能让培训更易获得,因为学习者可以在不同时间接触课程材料。她说,这一做法也有望支持认证、提高灵活性、促进参与和完成率、扩大项目的区域覆盖范围,并允许更多自主节奏学习。
HEART董事会副主席Rayharna Wright也支持转向在线教学,称这将帮助培训体系服务更多人群。
“它使我们能够把学习机会扩展到传统实体限制之外。它为更强的连续性、更有力的学习者支持系统、更完善的质量保证以及各机构之间更一致的授课标准创造条件,”她说。
CARICOM Secretariat副项目经理Dr Denise Stoney James表示,该项目取得的成果来自区域利益相关方之间的合作。
“我们建立的平台和我们所装备的教育工作者,都是强有力伙伴关系和共同愿景的成果,”她说。
该试点获得了GIZ、Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit,即德国发展机构的资金支持。

Bunting wants changes to HEART-Trust to reflect needs of evolving workforce

Bunting wants changes to HEART-Trust to reflect needs of evolving workforce Opposition Spokesman on Productivity, Efficiency and Competitiveness, Peter Bunting, has called for the HEART/NSTA-Trust to be transformed to meet the needs of a constantly evolving workforce. Bunting made the call on June 3 during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives. He described HEART as a “training institution whose curriculum evolves on a multiyear cycle, in an environment where the relevant AI driven technology changes every few months”. “This reality demands a fundamental rethink of workforce development policy. HEART has made important contributions to Jamaica’s development, but it was designed for a different era. The pace of technological change now requires continuous workforce adaptation,” Bunting added. He reminded that the Opposition has stated repeatedly that the time has come to transform HEART into a workforce development funding institution. “Rather than attempting to deliver training directly in every field, HEART should increasingly support employer-driven training initiatives, matching private sector investments in workforce development and allowing workers access to accredited training providers. “Such a model would ensure that training resources are aligned with actual labour market demand and not institutional assumptions about future labour demand,” he said. According to the opposition spokesman, “We must move from labour supply to talent supply. The winners over the next decade will be the countries that transform their workforce the fastest”.
