CARICOM Immigration & Customs Officers get training this week on Border Officers roles & functions

​CARICOM Immigration and Customs Officers will undergo training this week, to clarify the roles and functions of Border Officers. The training is also geared at ensuring that there is a common understanding of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) in general, and the Free Movement of Persons (FMP) in particular.
 
According to a release, the Train-the-Trainers Workshop for Immigration and Customs Officers is being held by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat, from June 13 to 14 in Barbados. It is part of the 10th European Development Fund CSME Economic Integration Program.
The Workshop will also include a module on Customer Service, and on Effective Communication.
 
In addition to further strengthening and building the capacity of these officials, on the CARICOM Free Movement regimes, that intervention is expected to enhance their ability to train their peers, on returning home.
 
In light of this, and the follow-up that is required to make this intervention successful and sustain the efforts, there will be a need to ensure that further training activities take place at the National Level.
