A CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATION (CSO) IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHICH OPERATES

IN THE COMMUNITY, IN A WAY THAT IS DISTINCT FROM BOTH GOVERNMENT

AND BUSINESS. A VALUE PROPOSITION IS A MARKETING TOOL FOR A COMPANY.

IT DESCRIBES THE UNIQUE VALUE THAT THE CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATION

BRINGS TO CUSTOMERS AND THE MARKET. VALUE PROPOSITION PROVIDES A

UNIQUE COMBINATION OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WHICH PROVIDE VALUE

TO THE CUSTOMER BY RESULTING IN THE SOLUTION OF A PROBLEM THAT THE

CUSTOMER IS FACING OR PROVIDING VALUE TO THE CUSTOMER. THIS IS THE

POINT OF INTERSECTION BETWEEN THE PRODUCT YOU MAKE AND THE REASON

BEHIND THE CUSTOMER’S IMPULSE TO BUY IT. A PRODUCT CAN HAVE A SINGLE

VALUE PROPOSITION OR MULTIPLE VALUE PROPOSITIONS.

THE GRENADA NATIONAL TRAINING AGENCY (GNTA) AS EMPOWERED BY THE

GCTVET ACT OF 2009 IS THE AGENCY MANDATED TO CO-ORDINATE, FACILITATE

AND ENABLE THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF TECHNICAL AND

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN GRENADA CARRIACOU AND PETITE

MARTINIQUE. THE AGENCY THROUGH MODES OF TRAINING INTERVENTION

INTENDS TO HELP IN ENSURING THAT THERE EXISTS A SUPPLY OF TRAINED AND

SKILLED WORKERS TO SERVICE LABOUR MARKET NEEDS AND THEREBY

CONTRIBUTE TO HIGHER LEVELS OF PRODUCTIVITY IN THE GRENADIAN

ECONOMY. THE ORGANIZATION BY WAY OF POLICY SEEKS TO HAVE

DEVELOPED AND APPROVED OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS DERIVED FROM

INDUSTRY SPECIFICATIONS AND TO GUIDE THE TRAINING, ASSESSMENT AND

CERTIFICATION WITHIN THE GRENADA TVET SYSTEM. THE GRENADA COUNCIL

FOR TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (GCTVET) CREATED

BY AN ACT OF PARLIAMENT IN 2009 IS EMPOWERED TO APPROVE STANDARDS

FOR THE AWARD CERTIFICATION LEADING TO CARIBBEAN VOCATIONAL

QUALIFICATION (CVQ’S) AND NATIONAL VOCATIONAL QUALIFICATION (NVQ’S).

THE GNTA HAS ESTABLISHED INDUSTRY LEAD GROUPS RESPONSIBLE FOR

VETTING STANDARDS AS WELL AS SPECIFYING AND RECOMMENDING

STANDARDS TO BE APPROVED. THE NATIONAL TRAINING AGENCY (NTA) IS

BASED IN GRENADA. ITS MISSION IS TO ‘ENHANCE THE EMPLOYABILITY OF

GRENADA’S WORKFORCE’. THE NTA PROVIDES CVQ AND NVQ CERTIFICATION

TO CANDIDATES FROM APPROVED TRAINING CENTERS.

YOU MAY ASK YOURSELF IS THE PROPOSITION COMMUNICATED

SIMPLISTICALLY? YES, UNLIKE OTHER TRAINING AGENCY’S THIS UNIQUE,

PRESTIGE, BOLD, HONORABLE, DEDICATED YET COMMITTED AGENCY HAS

COMPLETED MOST OF THE PREPARATORY FACILITATION ACTIVITIES FOR

UNDERTAKING TRAINING BASED ON A COMPETENCY EDUCATION MODEL. OVER

THE PAST YEARS THE AGENCY HAS MET WITH VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS

INCLUDING POTENTIAL TRAINEES, TRAINING PROVIDERS, EMPLOYERS, YOUTH

OFFICERS AND MINISTRY OF EDUCATION OFFICIALS TO ORIENT THEM ON THE

COMPONENTS OF THE OECS (GRENADA) SKILLS FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH

PROJECT. TO CONCLUDE AS PREVIOUSLY STATED IN THE MISSION THE PURPOSE

OF THE GRENADA NATIONAL TRAINING AGENCY (GNTA) IS TO ENHANCE THE

EMPLOYABILITY OF GRENADA'S WORKFORCE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, THIS IS A

WORTHY CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATION WHO IS COMMITTED AND DEDICATED

TO MAKE A GRAVE IMPACT WITH OUR NATION’S YOUTH AND OUR SOVEREIGN

COUNTRY ON A WHOLE.
