Transformation Project

The Caribbean Digital Transformation Project (CARDTP) aims to deliver intermediate training in digital literacy to school-leavers, small business owners, and other interested individuals.

The courses offered follow a hybrid approach to learning delivery — they are both online and face-to-face.

Classes for the next cohort of students will begin in January 2024. The CARDTP Programme intends on running from now until 2025, and applications remain open all year round.
