The Ministry of Finance of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas has received financing from the Inter- American

training in technical, numeracy/literary and soft skills for production related industries and vocational trades

providing 200 certificates for incarcerated juveniles.

The overall objective of this consultancy is the creation, facilitation and assessment of a customized competency-based

training programme for exclusive use by the Citizen Security and Justice Programme and its Revive Academy brand in

Production and Trades-related industries, ensuring the successful completion of 670 at-risk youth beneficiaries and the

conferring of 200 certificates to incarcerated juveniles. This program should focus on emerging roles in industries that

lack qualified personnel. The top-ranked firm will design, develop and deliver a curriculum focused on preparing

beneficiaries for innovative roles (traditional or entrepreneurial) and emerging fields in 1) Mining, Quarrying and

Manufacturing (40.5%), 2) Construction (38.6%), 3) Transportation and Storage (36.9%), and 4) Electricity, Gas, Air

new personnel being under-qualification at a rate of 34.4% or above7 and the Ministry of Public Works which is
