The Nova Committee of the T&T Chamber The Nova Committee is a standing committee of the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerc Projects of the NOVA Committee

1.

JumpStart Programme
JumpStart Student Apprenticeship Programme is the brainchild of The Nova Committee. It runs from June to September. We aim to assist 100 young persons specially chosen from schools across the country to gain valuable experience in a working environment. In 2007, Her Excellency Dr. Jean Ramjohn Richards First Lady of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, accepted the Chamber’s in

vitation to be the patron for the programme. Members of the Chamber are invited to participate in this worthwhile initiative, by assisting with the apprenticeship of at least one candidate from the programme.

2. Focus on SME Development
Having hosted successful conferences geared towards the MSME sector in 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2014 respectively, the NOVA Committee proposes to host similar initiatives on a regular basis. Among many other developmental issues, the focus will include practical aspects of starting and growing SMEs. Mentoring small business owners is another component of this initiative.

3. Executive Development
The continued professional development of its members is a key element in NOVA’s strategic plan. The Committee has already hosted a well received breakfast session on Intellectual Property Rights and has scheduled other sessions on Security Issues and Financial Matters.

Present, Past & Proud.

NOVA committee members both past and present stood proudly representing advocacy for MSMEs at the Business Outlook Forum 2025 held by the The Trinidad and Tobago Chamber.

For micro, small, and medium enterprises, these discussions are not just theory.

They shape the ecosystem we navigate daily.

From fiscal strategy to digital transformation, the decisions made at these levels ripple through our operations, ambitions, and resilience.

As advocates for the MSME sector, we are committed to being at the table, listening, engaging, and championing the needs of the businesses that form the backbone of our economy.
