SEWATT & OJT’s Suit Up For Success - TTT News

A unique partnership between SEWA International TT and the Ministry of Labour’s On-the-Job Training (OJT) Programme is helping young professionals dress for success, one outfit at a time.1 CommentComment on Facebook
A great initiative. Many do not know the struggle young ppl have to get a professional wardrobe. I remember mine. A unique partnership between SEWA International TT and the Ministry of Labour’s On-the-Job Training (OJT) Programme is helping young professionals dress for success, one outfit at a time. The initiative, dubbed “Suit Up 2.0,” is the second phase of a clothing drive that began last year. They collect ‘gently used clothing’ from the public, sort them, and redistribute professional attire to OJT trainees and other young adults preparing to enter the workforce. Varuna Samaroo, a representative of SEWA International TT, explained the heart behind the initiative and how it’s designed to give clothing, and people, a second chance. “We take out the good pieces from the bad pieces and we give those clothing a second life. So the casual clothing usually goes to those in need, such as fire victims, the homeless shelters, etc. And we do end up with a lot of professional clothing, which last year we reached out to the OJT to see can you make use of this within your circle. We also reached out to the Hugh Wooding Law school and they also assisted in getting professional clothing to their students.” Joanne David, who leads the OJT Programme as Director of the On-the-Job Training Division, said she sees the initiative as more than just a clothing drive. “And it is critical that we continue to provide the kind of support not only to place them for that technical and personal development in the workplace, but to be there to give them the support and to provide that continuum of care. This initiative came out of our need to bring a professional psychologists on the programme and in evaluating our uptake data, we were able to see the need for us to again, provide that support for our trainees.” She said the OJT programme currently supports over 6 thousand trainees across Trinidad and Tobago and emphasized that professional attire is often a hidden barrier for many young people entering the workforce.

🩸 World Thalassaemia Day Observed at Divali Nagar 🩸
Yesterday, Sewa International TT, in collaboration with SISBDTT, marked World Thalassaemia Day at Divali Nagar — a site that has hosted over 40 blood drives, contributing 2,000+ units to the national blood supply.
We thank the Ministers of Health, Dr. Bodoe and Dr. Seecharan for attending and showing genuine care for persons living with blood disorders. Their commitment to improving blood donation awareness and systems is a welcome step toward real change.
Thalassaemia patients rely on regular blood transfusions to survive — and we’re committed to ensuring that Trinidad and Tobago maintains a strong, voluntary blood supply for all who need it.
🩷 Join us in this mission! Register now for the Sewa TT 6K Fun Run | Walk on Sunday, June 29th — an event to raise funds and awareness for blood donation. @followers

Thalassemias are a group of inherited blood disorders that manifest as the production of reduced hemoglobin. Symptoms depend on the type of thalassemia and can vary from none to severe, including death. For those who doesn't know.
Very beautiful

Proactive approach to flood mitigation by the Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government, working on identifying the priority areas for cleaning given the little time we have before the start of the rainy season and considering the limited amount of working equipment available by each regional corporation. @followers

I like that you were part of the Meeting. Sewa TT has done tremendous work in aiding the citizens of this country especially during the massive flooding in 2017/18
Change is on the horizon- full support - full steam ahead. We need to be patient - a lot to be fixed and according to Bass on Freedom Radio on his Thursday afternoon slot ‘fix it’! Yes, it will be fixed!
