The objective of this activity is to help member organizations throughout the length and breadth of the island understand the basics of modern day devices particularly smart phones and the computer and also learn how to use these devices to conduct online transactions.

The training will take the form of a classroom style setting where every participant will be assigned a mentor; so as to give each of them a hands-on approach to facilitate their knowledge and understanding of the technology.

Hon. Lenard Montoute, District Representative for Gros Islet and Minister for Equity, Social Justice, Empowerment, Youth Development, Sports, Culture and Local Government will be in attendance at this initial phase of the training workshop being piloted in Gros Islet. Similar training workshops will be replicated in other communities island-wide.
