Prospective occupational skills needs in the Guyanese construction industry, 2022-2026

The present study, generously financed by the United States Department of State: Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, is the result of dedicated collaboration between the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Office for Guyana, and the International Labour Organization Office for the Caribbean and supported by the Ministry of Labour of the Government of Guyana.

Focusing on the construction industry, the study combines a background analysis of the local, and to some extent, international human resources trends accompanied by the collection of original data from companies directly operating within it. It provides valuable information about the profiles that required in the short and medium term, and details on the competencies accompanying those as well as perception of availability of the latter. Preferred hiring methods, a glimpse at current educational options and further insights from industry professionals complete the analysis.
