The Management Institute for National Development (MIND) is a public training institute based in Kingston, Jamaica, founded in 1994 to build the skills of public sector employees and managers.

MIND runs a learning portal aimed at government staff, while also opening many courses to professionals from private companies. Course offerings include leadership topics such as emotional intelligence, performance coaching, and change leadership, alongside postgraduate diplomas in general management and human resource management.

The institute awards associate degrees in accounting, management studies, and human resource management, together with a range of diploma-level courses covering administrative management, government accounting, and supplies management. A large slate of short certificate courses builds practical skills in project management, procurement, budget preparation, records management, and report writing, plus customer-service and public-sector-procedure tracks grouped under its service excellence offerings.

The institute operates a leadership centre and a public procurement centre, and gives learners access to a library carrying Ebscohost, ProQuest, and Caribbean Journals databases.
