PHILIPSBURG–Fifty-two persons have registered and shown interest in pursuing technical and vocational courses being executed by the Trinidad-based MIC Institute of Technology in conjunction with the National Institute for Professional Advancement (NIPA).

The courses are being held to help persons acquire skills needed to help in the reconstruction sector in St. Maarten.

Labour Minister Emil Lee disclosed the registration details during the Council of Ministers press briefing on Wednesday. The courses being offered include masonry, plumbing, carpentry, electrical installation, welding and general property maintenance.

“Fifty-two persons registered and showed interest in participating. The ministry is continuing with the training exercises and educational support for people who are interested in working in the reconstruction economy,” Lee said.
