dc.description.abstract	The report indicates that given the shortage of time and resources, the study made extensive use of existing surveys and research undertaken throughout the Caribbean by a variety of donor and specialised agencies. The report notes the current demographic problems, particularly the increasing numbers of out-of-school youth who exert a heavy strain on the traditional services provided by public training facilities and swell the numbers of those seeking formal employment. Besides extensive documentation provided by the Caribbean Development Bank, InterAmerican Development Bank, World bank, GTZ, USAID et al, the Report has been guided by the excellent work undertaken by CARICOM, in particular the TVET Strategy document which charts the way towards a more structured training system. Contrary to assumptions at the start of the survey, the Report’s evidence shows that while pre-entry training continues to pre-occupy government priorities, it is not a major concern for Caribbean manufacturing industries because most companies are currently giving preference to in-plant training for new recruits. The provision of basic skills for those unable to find wage-earning employment is another matter and in this context the Report urges governments to make a clear distinction between training in what amounts to livelihood skills – which is seen as a matter of social concern – and skills development for specific employment needs. With manufacturing industrial manpower in mind, first priority goes to the need to up-grade the management skills of what the Report defines as lower and middle level management. The profile of a lower/middle manager reveals that in most smaller enterprises the few recognised managers have a wide span of overall responsibility. To address these issues the Report recommends a number of initiatives which would collectively respond to these specific problems.	en_US
