Written by Fuze Social Team on October 25, 2021
The H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC) says it continues
to lead the territory in training and certification efforts following the successful accreditation by the National Council of Construction Education and Research (NCCER).
President of HLSCC, Dr. Richard Georges said, “Accreditation with NCCER is a key component to the College’s strategic vision, and I am happy to congratulate the Workforce Training Division for their diligent work in making this a reality.
Dr. Georges said this development will go some way towards improving standards of training in the construction and technical trades in the Territory and we are eager to get started”.
To become an Accredited Training Sponsor (ATS), the Workforce Training Division at HLSCC went through a rigorous process to ensure that the institution could meet the standards that NCCER requires.
Three persons at the institution were trained in this process: Marva Wheatley-Dawson, Dean of the Workforce Training and Sponsor Representative who is certified as a Master Trainer and primary liaison
between the ATS and NCCER; Desmond Auguste, Acting Head of Technical Studies, Secondary Representative, and Master Trainer; and Ms. Dheja Fonseca, Lecturer in Technical Studies and Master Trainer. As the accrediting body for the construction industry, NCCER establishes the benchmark for quality training and assessments by offering certifications in construction, electrical, plumbing, welding, and other related fields.
