A new management body is expected to be established to govern the operations of the HEART TRUST/NSTA during this year.

The announcement was made by Minister with responsibility for digital and skills transformation Senator Dana Morris Dixon, during her presentation at the Standing Finance Committee yesterday.

Senator Morris Dixon explained that the management of the organization will be spearheaded by the sector skills council.

The council will provide directives to the HEART TRUST administrators.

Dr. Morris Dixon added that the Inter-American Development Bank will fund the project.

Dr. Morris Dixon also responded to concerns raised by Opposition Member Mikael Phillips, relating to HEART being able to meet the needs of the logistics industry.

She added that approval has been given, with adequate funding already in place.
