Curaçao Still Lacks a National Vocational Training Institute

Curaçao has yet to establish a national vocational school, despite ongoing recognition of the need for such an institution. The proposed institute was intended to be set up with support from the private sector, making it a public-private initiative rather than a solely government-funded program. Its primary focus would be on the professional development of young people who did not complete their schooling. In addition to youth, the institute would also serve working adults looking to advance or retrain professionally. The continued absence of this institution represents a gap in the island's educational and workforce development infrastructure. No timeline or updated plan for the establishment of the institute has been announced.
