Investing in people is investing in the future of Trinidad and Tobago.

This morning, the Minister of Defence The Honourable Wayne Sturge was honoured to address trainees and industry professionals at MIC-IT's inaugural Inside the Industry – Hospitality Edition initiative along with Renee-Enriquez Rodriguez, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors, under the theme "TRAINING FOR INDUSTRY".

Programmes like these play a critical role in bridging the gap between education and employment by connecting young people with real-world experience, mentorship, and career opportunities.

To every trainee in attendance: remain focused, stay disciplined, and never stop learning. Success is built one opportunity, one lesson, and one decision at a time.

The Ministry commends MIC-IT for its continued commitment to workforce development and youth empowerment as we work together to build a skilled, resilient, and globally competitive workforce.

​🚫 Illicit fi****ms trafficking
​🛑 Transnational organized crime
​🚨 Emerging security threats

​The fight against illegal fi****ms requires more than just enforcement—it demands intelligence, deep cooperation, innovation, and unwavering partnerships.
