Earn and Study Programme

Table 1.4 indicates that for the 2014/15 fiscal year, a

total of 354 students were employed on the Earn and

Study Programme across the three semesters. The

current cost of the programme is $29.8 Million Dollars

($29,837,334.50). This represents a 9% decrease in

students employed over the previous year and a 16%

decrease in the amount of monies spent. This general

downward trend began in 2012 and is a direct result of

the worsening economic climate being experienced by

the country and by extension, the University.

The Expanded Earn and Study Programme

The Expanded Programme was launched in August of

2010 in response to the tremendous demands being

placed on the Regular Earn and Study Programme, by

students desperate for additional sources of income; as

well as UTech’s ever-increasing manpower needs. As

such, the Expanded Programme has the three-pronged

effect of providing valuable training for students who

receive real-work experience to complement their

academic pursuits, while earning additional income

and at the same meeting some of the University’s

manpower needs.

For the current review period 122 students were

employed on the Expanded Programme at a cost

of $11,811,450.00. (This figure for the Expanded

Programme has been included in the overall programme

figure of $29.8 Million Dollars.)

Student

Welfare Programmes

For the 2014/15 fiscal year, a total of 1072 students

benefited from welfare assistance in the form of

grants, lunch subsidy, bus passes or sports meals.

This brings the total expenditure on welfare activities

to $12.9 Million Dollars ($12,919,670.10); representing

a 7.9% decrease in the total amount of monies spent

over the previous year. Of the $12.9 Million Dollars,

$7.1 Million Dollars ($7,186,670.10) was used to assist

Nine Hundred and Ninety-one (991) of the University’s

most needy students, while the remaining $5.7 Million
