Such a labour market information system supports our thrust in the Ministry to move towards a demand-driven educational and training system. The aim of a demand-driven education and training system is to place Barbadians on a learning path which ensures a sustainable future of life-long learning through improved education, knowledge and skills, all of which are aligned to the needs of all sectors of the society and the economy.
