Green Jobs

Amidst the heightened advance toward inhibiting a “green economy” and creating “green jobs”, the Ministry of Labour and Small and Micro Enterprise Development , hosted a Workshop geared towards ‘Developing Policies and Programmes to Promote Green Jobs and Green Enterprises in Trinidad and Tobago.’

The Workshop ran from 7th May to 9th May, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad in Port-of-Spain. The Honourable Minister of Labour and Small and Micro Enterprise Development, Errol McLeod, who delivered the feature address at the opening ceremony, said that the “green economy has become an emblem of a more sustainable economy and society that preserves the environment for future generations”.

The Workshop was attended by Dr. Giovanni di Cola, Officer-in-Charge, ILO Decent Work Team and Sub Regional Office for the Caribbean and Kees van der Ree, Co-ordinator, ILO Green Jobs Global Programme – both of whom brought greetings at the official opening ceremony.

MOLSMED Administrative Professional's Day

What better way to show appreciation to the MOLSMED's Administrative staff than to take an entire day to kick back and relax at the Salybia Nature Resort and Spa in Toco   

The morning with an hour long Latin dance session where staff danced to the beats of cha cha cha, rumba and salsa. Next on the agenda was a very interactive talk session with Mrs. Dianne Baldeo-Chadeesingh, a certified international protocol consultant and customer service trainer who gave tips on office etiquette. Following a filling buffet-styled two course meal, staff was presented with tokens of appreciation and two members of staff were randomly chosen to bask in a complimentary massage, courtesy Salybia Nature Resort and Spa.
