About Us
Our People
The IAST’s strength and promise are vested in its unique and energetic staff. Versatile, motivated, and very conscious of the pivotal role that they play in the resuscitation of the Institute and as ambassadors of science and technology, they have been performing marvellously under conditions that are less than ideal. Mainly through their efforts, the Institute has begun to acquire a reputation as an aggressive, results-oriented organisation, and with that reputation has come increased Government of Guyana funding and increased commercialisation of the Institute’s projects.
The Institute of Applied Science and Technology currently has 13 science and technology staff members (this number fluctuates between 13 and 16, depending on whether the Institute is at full employment), 6 administrative staff, 14 guards, 2 drivers, 3 cleaners, 1 gardener, and 3 general labourers. The very small technical staff complement is distributed among five departments
