The Chaguaramas Hotel and Convention Centre will soon be turned into a modern Youth Development and Apprenticeship Centre.
Cabinet has given the approval to the Ministry of Youth Development for the refurbishment, repurposing and outfitting of the space.
A media statement on Thursday from the Chaguaramas Development Authority (CDA) said the Cabinet minute also instructed that the ministry “engage a public body” to facilitate the refurbishment, repurposing and outfitting of the convention centre into the apprenticeship centre.
The statement added, “In this regard, Cabinet Minute No. 1156, dated July 15, 2022, identified the Urban Development Corporation of TT (Udecott) as the public body to proceed with the preparation of design and budget for said project.”
The CDA has initiated the process of drafting a licence agreement between CDA and Udecott, on the works to be done.
