Description

The Government of Guyana is committed to inclusive growth, ensuring that all citizens, regardless of ability, can contribute to the national economy. While the MOE has expanded TVET access through new institutes in Regions 1 through 10, SEND students still face significant barriers in transitioning from secondary education to gainful employment.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS a) Master’s Degree or higher in Vocational Education, Human Resource Development, Special Education, or a related field. b) At least 10 years of experience in TVET systems, with specific expertise in disability inclusion and workforce development. c) Local Context: Demonstrated understanding of Guyana’s labour market and the Competency Based Education and Training (CBET) framework is highly desirable.
