MESSAGES Adam Stewar t Execut i ve Chai rman, ATL Group The HEART/NSTA Trust is undeniably the ‘HEART’ of Jamaica’s knowledge and skills training network. Formally establishing our relationship with them in 2019, we have benefitted from working with their best students through our provision of hands-on training in our workshops and allowing them to utilise the latest in automotive technology. Some of our team members are alumni of the programme and have since matriculated to more senior positions within the company, a testament of the talent and potential of the recruits. The sharing of resources is also seen through our technical training team hosting numerous tutorials with students, the latest being on electric vehicles. This symbiosis has been a catalyst for growth and development with the shared goal of advancing empowerment and viable employment opportunities within society. Achieving a milestone of 40 years is no easy feat and so, the ATL Family salutes the HEART/NSTA Trust in their mandate of transforming the lives of Jamaicans through competency-based training and promotion of gainful employment.

One of the most important factors for growth and business expansion is having competent human resources. Since its inception in 1982, the HEART/NSTA Trust has been the standard in providing quality skills training and certification in Jamaica. The manufacturing industry has been enriched with the knowledge and skills of employees trained and certified by the HEART/NSTA Trust.
