The Employers Consultative Association is highlighting the need to assess the existing pool of skills in society.
ECA says this is necessary to determine whether it meets the demand presently and for the future.
In a media release, the ECA said Trinidad and Tobago must also assess how best it can enable young people to transition into the labour market.
It said, ‘The fact is, we simply cannot realise positive change in society if our actions remain rooted in silos, especially where we have seen evidence of positional bargaining and an apparent unwillingness for parties on either side of the divide to treat in a meaningful way, the social and economic realities which confront us”.
