As part of the agreement between the two agencies, the memorandum will be amended as becomes necessary to ensure that the quality of training and the welfare of the recruits and interest of both parties are maintained, Principal of ETI, Michael Turner explained.
Turner said that Level One trainees (Repairman II Artisans) are eligible candidates who will enter into the apprenticeship programme and as such, CRML 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.
Similarly, CRML, which is eyeing students with a required aptitude that will ensure a quality graduate for the apprenticeship programme, will provide competency based on Education and training to the required standard to the recruits, while ensuring that students acquire the attitude, competence and skills required to perform, Turner added.
The Essequibo Technical Institute was established in 2000. More than 400 students from the riverain and coastal areas on the Essequibo Coast and Bartica attend the Institute.
Last year, Barama signed an MoU with ETI.
