Youth Business Trinidad and Tobago (YBTT) recently invited the National Insurance Board (NIB) to conduct an educational workshop for young entrepreneurs.
Participants were exposed to specific areas such as employer obligation–what is expected of them as employers–as well as their responsibilities to their employees and the NIB. Details of the 23 benefits provided by the NIB were also shared.
Public relations assistant at the NIB, Sheldon Joseph, told participants the NIB is "more than a pension provider."
"Our role is to ensure that all citizens–both employers and employees–are aware of their entitlements," he said.
The initiative was part of YBTT's mission to ensure young entrepreneurs are kept abreast of important information that can impact their businesses.
