There is a known mismatch between the supply and demand-side of the labour market within the CARICOM region. Despite the fact that best practice recommends for Academia and the private sector to closely collaborate on curricula and course designs, this is hardly ever the case within region. Consequently, the output from universities (graduates) is often found to lack the requisite and contemporary skills and competencies demanded by employers for particular occupational fields.
Overall, CMI-SAT is to be a user-friendly web-based interface that allows Employers and/or Employers’ Associations to identify skill areas that are of high demand for their individual sectors, and also allows learning institutions/academia to assess the degree to which their institutions’ course offerings satisfy the former.
