Senior Minister Amory
Basseterre, St. Kitts, November 08, 2018 (SKNIS): The Department of Labour – and by extension the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis – is working with partners in the field of labour to assist with the transition process of Lutron Liamuiga employees when the facility closes its doors on March 01, 2019.
The transition process, which will commence shortly, will include: sourcing employment for the former Lutron employees with other manufacturing companies that are undergoing expansion; training workers through STEP internships and the National Skills Training Programme (NSTP); and the retraining and retooling of workers in other areas such as hospitality, early childhood care, beauty services, to name a few.
