Youth Transformational Skills Programme (YTSP)
Project/Initiative
The Youth Transformational Skills Programme (YTSP) is a flagship national initiative of the Government of Grenada aimed at expanding access to high‑quality, industry‑aligned Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) across Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. Central to the Programme is the establishment of Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in four priority economic sectors: Tourism and Hospitality; Marine and Fisheries; Agriculture; and Furniture Making and Design.
The Programme is aligned with Grenada’s Education Sector Plan (2023–2030) and responds to national priorities to modernize TVET delivery through competency‑based education, applied learning, inclusive access, and workforce readiness. The Centres of Excellence are envisioned as drivers of national development, delivering accredited, labour‑market‑responsive training and supporting youth employability.
This consultancy focuses on providing Project Implementation Consultancy Team (PICT) services to support the planning, coordination, and operationalisation of the Centres of Excellence framework under the Youth Transformational Skills Programme.
