The Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training and National Excellence continues to invest in Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Dominican schools to prepare students for the evolving demands of the modern workforce.
On August 15, 2024, The Ministry of Education through the Dominica TVET Council awarded National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) Certificates to 60 individuals who successfully completed training in over 10 skill areas including Electricity, Plumbing, Commercial Food Preparation, Nail Technology and Cosmetology, Hair Braiding, Customer Service, Garment Construction, Fish Handling and Processing and Data Operations.
On April 24, 2025, 50 candidates were awarded NVQ certificates in these skills. This brings the total of NVQ awards to 110 over the last 8 months. In addition, 15 of these candidates will be awarded Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ) Level 3 certification in Construction Site Supervision by the Caribbean Association of National Training Agencies (CANTA); a first at that level for Dominica.

The Ministry of Education currently offers at least 12 TVET skills at the 7 public secondary schools:
Additionally, a Center of Excellence in TVET, to be established at the new Goodwill Secondary School and scheduled for commissioning in 2026, will provide advanced skills training to Dominicans across more than 12 disciplines.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
