The Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Third Sector will soon launch the National Career Advisory Network (NCAN), a key initiative designed to empower Barbadians through enhanced access to career guidance and opportunities.
The official launch of NCAN will take place tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre, Two Mile Hill, St Michael.
The National Career Advisory Network is intended to equip citizens with the tools, information, and support needed to pursue fulfilling careers, improve employment outcomes, and enhance overall life satisfaction.
Through this initiative, the Ministry aims to strengthen career development services across the island and promote informed career planning at all stages of life.
NCAN will function as a dynamic community of practice, bringing together active career counselling practitioners and other key stakeholders. Members of the network will support one another, share ideas, and participate in ongoing professional development.
The peer-based structure is also expected to foster collaboration, encourage the sharing of best practices, and provide an effective platform for the Ministry to disseminate important labour market information and insights.
The overarching goal of the National Career Advisory Network is to make career planning support accessible to everyone in Barbados. This includes extending services beyond the formal education system and into communities, through targeted outreach activities and expanded career counselling services.
