Working in CARICOM

Caribbean Nationals are being encouraged to take advantage of the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) Skills Recognition Certificate, which will allow them the freedom to live and work in another CARICOM member state.

Skilled CARICOM nationals, who wish to exercise their right under the Free Movement clause under the CSME, can either apply for the skills certificate in either the host or home state.

The CARICOM Free Movement of Persons Act, 1997, is a legislation that all CARICOM Member States should have in place by December 2005, the latest. It allows for free movement of skilled labour in six categories and persons can qualify for Skills Certificates, which allow for free movement across the CARICOM region.
