Vanessa Johnston, Training and Recruitment officers, BTEC
"Well BTEC, the Belize training and employment center conducts these capacity building job preparedness trainings, it usually takes three weeks. This cohort that we are graduating a total of 44, it was in three distinctive technical areas, one which was bartending in association with the bartending association, another one housekeeping and the last one was wait staff, so these individuals are not only learning soft skills which we do in the first week, customer service which is the second week and the technical skills, they are that whole well-rounded general field for what it is like to go into the job market and be better prepared to catapult their careers and to not only attain a job but to maintain that job."
Lynn Santos, Participant
"What stood out to me was learning about communication skills, how to properly speak and how to get along with people, these skills that I have learned will help us in our daily lives and assist us in becoming productive individuals in the work field."
David Lewis, Participant
"Thanks for sharing the experience you all have gone through, it has enlightened us and showed us that everything is not all peaches and cream but once you work towards it you get there."
