Essequibo: Caricom Rice Mills LTD signed an agreement with Essequibo Technical Institute (ETI) Wednesday to facilitate employment as well as sponsorship for Level One trainee students of the Institute. The Memorandum of Understanding will last for two years.
Principal of ETI, Michael Turner said the MOU will be amended if necessary to ensure that the quality of training and the welfare of the recruits and interest of both parties are maintained.
Turner said that Level One trainees (Repairman 11 Artisans) are eligible candidates who will enter into the apprenticeship programme and as such the rice mill agrees to inform the institute of the required number of recruits by skill area for training at ETI.
The Mill will also provide partial scholarships to the recruits as a means of encouraging competition of their training.
