CHEC donates training tools to MoBay institute

Programmes offered at the Flankers Skills Training Institute in Montego Bay, St James, have been boosted with the provision of equipment valued at approximately $3 million by China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC).

The donation has been facilitated under a partnership with the Government of Jamaica.

Speaking during the handover ceremony at the Institute on Tuesday, National Security Minister Dr Horace Chang, who is also the member of Parliament for North West St James where the centre is located, lauded CHEC for contribution to the community, noting that "they were kind enough when I spoke to them to (commit) to providing training tools".

He pointed out that the gesture by the Chinese firm, which has been integrally involved in infrastructure developments islandwide, will enable the centre to provide skills training for more persons.

Chang pointed out that the tools would be utilised in a property management training course, which gets under way shortly in collaboration with the HEART Trust/NTA.
