The Department of Youth Services, Ministry of Youth, Sports, and E-Governance, informs the public of the formation of the Belize Training Institute.The Belize Training Institute, developed from an amalgamation of existing youth training institutes, comprises the National Youth Cadet Service Corps, Gateway Youth Center, the Skills Training Center, and the National 4H Youth Development Center.
To effectively bring structure to this institute, the framework of the Center for Employment Training (CET) module will be implemented. This will allow participating youth to transition to the Institute for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (ITVET) at the completion of their curriculum at the Belize Training Institute.
Coordinators of the amalgamated institutes participated in a training on the CET module hosted by Dr. Sheldon Samuels, National Coordinator of Adult Continuing Education Services (ACES).
The Belize Training Institute will be a nationally offered service accessible in all regions of the country.
