Labour Minister: OJT not closing

Baptiste-Primus said the ministry is currently conducting interviews for staff for the restructured OJTP.

She said efforts will be made to ensure that the most suitably qualified people are brought on board, who will continue to address the concerns of trainees on the programme and provide the level of service that they deserve.

Baptiste-Primus said as part of the restructuring process, the OTJP’s satellite offices will now be located at the ministry’s satellite offices in Point Fortin., San Fernando, Siparia, Chaguanas and Tunapuna.

She promised that from June1, staff will be at these offices to address trainees’ concerns. The minister said the accomodation for the OJTP’s head office is still ongoing and trainees will be advised in due course as to its address.

“We are minimising to the very best of our ability, any disruptions to the operations of the programme” she stated.

Urging trainees to keep the ministry updated on any further concerns they had, Baptiste-Primus invited them to contact the OJTP’s director at K.Lovell-Ferreira@ ojt.gov.tt.
