HEART Trust/NTA To Train 240 Ancillary Workers "The HEART Trust/NTA on Thursday partnered with the Jamaica Social Investment Fund (#JSIF) to launch a specially customised programme that will certify 240 ancillary workers from 40 schools under the School Ancillary Workers Training Project (#SAWTP). The move is in response to the 2016 Integrated Community Development Project (#ICDP) School Ancillary Workers Survey, which found that a large number of ancillary workers lacked formal certification. “Our ancillary workers are pivotal to the functioning of many institutions in this country. They are instrumental in maintaining and sustaining our schools as they are the ones who prepare meals for the children, keep our environment clean, among other responsibilities”, said Edward Gabbidon, chairman of the HEART Trust/NTA. “However, standardisation in quality is very important. Therefore, we must ensure that our ancillary workers are performing at the highest possible standards. The beneficiaries are selected from 40 schools in St James, #Clarendon, St Andrew and Kingston and will pursue tailored courses based on their respective fields. “What we realised is that many of these workers only received on-the-job training and had no further certification. These custom-designed courses will expose the workers to a range of skills, like security and landscaping, with the opportunity for capacity building,” said Winsome Hudson Reid, training coordinator at JSIF..."
