Barbados’ future depends on how well our education system prepares students for the realities of the workforce. In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, we take a deep dive into how technical and vocational education (TVET) can help bridge the gap between classrooms and careers.

Hosts Mikul Elcock and Shayla Murrell are joined by:
🔹 Erika Watson, Programme Manager at the Ministry of Labour, Social Security & Third Sector
🔹 Shanika A. Best, Employment Relations Advisor at the Barbados Employers’ Confederation
🔹 Dario Walcott, workforce development and certification specialist

Together, they unpack the skills mismatch between training and employment, explore the role of apprenticeships and private-sector partnerships, and discuss what must change to make technical and vocational careers more attractive to Barbados’ next generation.

🎙️ Are we preparing students for real opportunities, or are we leaving them behind in the classroom?
