JAMAICA OVERVIEW

Jamaica is the 3rd largest English speaking nation in North America and one of the biggest and most widely populated islands in the Caribbean.  There is a real need for training to continue to supplement the nationwide drive to increase employment opportunities for all, and Pitman Training are keen to be part of this development.

The capital Kingston is the biggest city on the island, and is increasingly becoming the home for technology and call centre industries as Jamaica diversifies from the traditional industries. Jamaica is ideally placed as an English speaking country between the UK & the USA, to grow such industries. With such growth comes a real need for the workforce to enhance their office and IT skills, and this is a key strength of a Pitman Training centre.

AREA OPPORTUNITIES

Jamaica a key member of the Commonwealth and a country with many historical and family ties back to the UK. British education is held in high esteem and much of the education system is similar to that of the UK, making the entrance of a Pitman Training centre to the market much smoother sailing.

We are looking to find vocational education providers in Jamaica that are keen to add Pitman Training to their offering in order to grow the brand across the island. Alternatively, if there are ambitious individuals that have a drive to enhance the vocational sector in offering in Jamaica, we would love to hear from you too.
