As part of the ongoing efforts of Caribbean countries to develop initiatives to respond to the multi-faceted development challenges, made worse in just over the past year by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Caribbean Export Development Agency has disclosed that it is partnering with the service industries sectors in five Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries to host a series of training programmes. Under the umbrella “Services Go Global,” the initiative is designed to enhance the export-readiness of the services of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in an effort to move the region into a position of COVID-19 export readiness at the earliest possible time.
The initiative will see Carib Export partnering with the Coalitions of Services bodies from Belize, Grenada, Jamaica, St. Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago, and will see the launch of training programmes during this month, which will be run over a three-month period.
