In 1994, the National Skills Development Programme (NSDP) was initialised by the late Prime Minister Patrick Manning to adapt the German Model of Technical Training to Trinidad and Tobago as a response to the need within the labour market for skilled and experienced Craftsmen. The Programme follows the German Dual System of Technical Vocational Training and uses the Factory Training Concept where foundation theoretical and practical skills are developed in MIC Institute of Technology and mastery of these skills are developed in the industry under guided supervision of a skilled Supervisor or Master Craftsman.

In 2002, the Helping You Prepare for Employment (HYPE) Programme was established as a Government sponsored Programme to assist citizens of Trinidad and Tobago in obtaining sustainable employment in the Building Construction Industry. HYPE is designed to train and develop young individuals in skills, knowledge and abilities to be self-supporting and to take advantage of opportunities. HYPE offers a stipend and other Government funded support to assist trainees.

The Multi-Sector Skills Training (MuST) Programme was officially launched in 2004 under the former Ministry of Science, Technology and Tertiary Education in partnership with the National Training Agency. It was designed in response to a social need within the nation’s economy to nurture sustainable human development in Trinidad and Tobago. In 2011, The MuST Programme was transferred to MIC-IT offering Hospitality and Tourism Level I and Construction Level II. In 2016 MIC-IT started a Crop Production pilot programme which was approved in 2017 and is now being offered under the MuST programme. The Programme is a specialised craft-training initiative that seeks to develop competent workers within priority economic sectors. The MuST Programme offers trainees the opportunity to be exposed to various occupational and employability skills training within these priority sectors. The Trainees will be exposed to the real world of work and Life Skills Training while at the same time learning a Technical Skill to gain sustainable employment. This programme has exposed over 20,000 unemployed nationals to occupational skills training within the Construction, Hospitality and Tourism Sectors.

In 2006, Craft courses formerly offered at the John S. Donaldson Technical Institute (JDTI), the San Fernando Technical Institute (SFTI) and the Government Vocational Centre (GVC), were placed under the management of MIC-IT. In 2008, the programme was relocated to MIC-IT Technology Centres and renamed as Industrial Craft Programme (ICP).

In 2014, MIC-IT became the first Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Institution in the country to become accredited by the Accreditation Council of Trinidad and Tobago (ACTT). The Construction arm of MIC-IT was launched in 2016 and with the help of its Trainees and skilled Instructors, provides high-quality, low-cost building and maintenance solutions in the construction Industry.
