For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ A skills gap study was officially launched today by the Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the International Labour Organization. Due to financing constraints, the study looked particularly at agriculture and information and communications technologies. The findings are that there is a mismatch between the demand of the industries and the students coming out of tertiary education institutions. The gap is so wide that there is urgent need for the education curriculum to be aligned with the direction the country is going. C.E.O. Kim Aikman says that narrowing that gap is a priority in moving the country forward.
