Jamaica programs / Jamaica project 532-0070 · 1979–1984
Reports contractor progress 8/79-8/80 in Operation Friendship's project to teach trade skills in Kingston, Jamaica. The auto mechanics, woodworking, and metal work programs graduated 27 rather the planned 26 students; 21 of the targeted 37 students finishing the first year of the programs; and all graduates were provided 3 weeks work experience and program syllabi were reviewed. In addition, 12 of 16 trainees graduated in industrial sewing; 64 of 75 students finished the service skills/general education program, and students at two schools received life skills training. Four management personnel were hired and a staff training program is being developed. Sales of project products and services exceeded the targeted J$150,000 by J$12,896 and a marketing plan was drafted. Due to a 9-month delay in construction of facilities for new skills programs, curricula have not been developed. Ordering and receipt of equipment has been delayed for both new and old programs.
