The Votech Belize Facebook page has been launched in an effort to keep the public updated on the many successes of the Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) institutions and high schools. The page is managed by key players within the Ministry of Education and helps to showcase the positive factors of each of our vocational schools through thumbnails, updates, newsletters, etc. Like the page on Facebook and come to see all the wonderful things the vocational schools have to offer.
The essay competition is geared towards students age 12-17 who are currently enrolled in a local school. The essay should answer the following three (3) questions in 500-800 words:

The poster competition is geared towards students ages 10-14 who are currently enrolled in a local school and should depict the importance of technical and vocational training in the growth of Belize’s economy. The poster should be geared towards key stakeholders.
