The PID is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and will provide students with hands-on training in various technical and vocational fields. The commissioning ceremony was attended by several dignitaries, including the Minister of Education, the Regional Chairman, and the Head of the Guyana Teachers’ Union. The Minister of Education highlighted the importance of TVET in equipping students with the skills they need to succeed in the modern world. The PID is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of various technical and vocational fields, including carpentry, plumbing, welding, and electrical work. The centre will also offer training in entrepreneurship and business management.

The new centre, a state-of-the-art facility, is designed to provide a comprehensive range of services for students and educators. It boasts a library, classrooms, laboratories, and other facilities that cater to various learning needs. The centre’s construction was a collaborative effort involving multiple stakeholders, including the Ministry of Education, the Government of Guyana, and private sector partners. This collaborative approach ensured that the centre met the needs of the Guyanese educational system and the aspirations of the nation.

The PID, according to the Chief Education Officer, will also provide students with the opportunity to pursue a range of career paths, including those in the public sector, private sector, and the non-profit sector. This will be achieved through the integration of soft skills training, entrepreneurship development, and career guidance. Furthermore, the PID, as a pathway to higher education, will allow students to access a wider range of academic programs and institutions. This will be facilitated by the recognition of the CVQ Level I certificate as a prerequisite for entry into certain academic programs.
