Yesterday, in between preparing for an event with Western Carolina University students, Mrs. Scott attended an event for a government employment training agency to give a motivational talk. The event was actually a formal debate about Jamaica’s Vision 2030 plan, with young students discussing the merits of document, which aims to make Jamaica the place of choice to live, work, raise families and do business.

It was hosted by Heart Trust NTA, which is an employment training agency. From their web site:

The Human Employment and Resource Training Trust, National Training Agency known to most Jamaicans simply as ‘HEART’ is a key driver on Jamaica’s road to development. Formed in 1982 and restructured by the amended HEART Act in 1991, the Organisation focuses primarily on stimulating economic growth and job creation. This can only be achieved through the creation of a highly skilled, productive and competitive workforce.

The HEART Trust/NTA operates 29 Technical and Vocational Education and Training locations which focus on providing a variety of training options to ALL Jamaicans seeking to advance their career options. With programmes geared at transforming the lives of school leavers as well as employed persons who require training and certification,  HEART Trust/NTA is active in engaging members of the society. Begin your career, gain work experience and build your business idea with the HEART Trust/NTA!

As usual, Mrs. Scott gave an extremely inspirational talk. It was aimed directly at the young people sitting in the audience, urging them to live their lives with principle and integrity. And they listened.

Stay tuned for lots more pictures from the last event with Western Carolina University students. And have a great long weekend!
