HEART/NSTA Trust Partnership

National-standard certification, delivered inside our facilities.

Our partnership with the HEART/NSTA Trust means residents earn the same nationally recognised qualifications available to any Jamaican learner — opening real doors after release.

Trade certifications are mapped to current labour market demand, giving graduates a realistic path into employment or self-employment in their parish.

Education

From basic literacy to CSEC preparation.

Many residents enter our care having missed years of formal schooling. Our education team meets them where they are — building foundations first, then offering pathways to formal qualifications.
