Our History                                                                                                        

In 1969, following initiatives by the Commonwealth Foundation, representatives of a few Professional organizations came together to form the Trinidad and Tobago Group of Professional Associations operating from a small office in rented premises.

The Centre was generally intended to promote local Professional cooperation, to offer practical facilities by way of accommodation and shared secretarial services to Professional societies, to encourage a joint Professional approach to problems of education, training, relations with schools and universities and to foster collective advice to Government in the fields of legislation, manpower development and planning.

The first building of the Professional Centre was constructed in 1986 through capital contribution from the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, financial assistance of the Commonwealth Foundation and payments from four Member Associations who chose to occupy modules in the building.

A second building was completed in June 2005 and provides accommodation for an additional 11 Member Organizations, the Secretariat and common Conference facilities.

The two (2) buildings are to be joined together by an open type single storey covered area, which can be used as an exhibition area, lounge, restaurant, bar or extension of the conference building as may be required. Another building similar to the first two will be built as needed.
