The Government of Saint Lucia, through the Caribbean Digital Transformation Project (CARDTP), has strengthened its partnership with the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College (SALCC) through the official handover of digital devices and furniture to support the SALCC Innovation Hub.
The handover forms part of CARDTPโs investment in Digital Skills and Technology Adoption and supports the creation of an environment where students and other beneficiaries can access technology, strengthen their digital competencies and explore opportunities for innovation.
Speaking at the ceremony, CARDTP Project Manager Mrs. Sheralin Monrose-Gustave highlighted the importance of the partnership with SALCC within the Projectโs broader digital transformation agenda. She emphasized that the investment extends beyond the provision of equipment, creating opportunities for people to acquire practical digital skills and participate more effectively in an increasingly digital economy.
Ag. Chief ICT Officer, Mr. Kentus Eugene, within the Ministry of the Public Service, Transport, Information and Utilities Regulation, under which the CARDTP is being implemented, placed the initiative within the Government of Saint Luciaโs wider digital transformation programme, noting that the countryโs transformation cannot be achieved through technology and digital systems alone. Equally important is the development of the skills and competencies required to use these technologies effectively. The Innovation Hub therefore represents an important investment in developing Saint Luciaโs human capacity and preparing citizens for emerging opportunities in the digital economy.
Dr. Fortuna Anthony, Vice Chair of the SALCC Board of Governors, welcomed the investment and expressed appreciation for the continued partnership and support provided through CARDTP. In her remarks, she underscored the rapidly changing nature of technology and the importance of ensuring that educational institutions are equipped to prepare students for that changing environment. She emphasized that the value of the initiative extends beyond the equipment itself to the opportunities it provides for learning, skills development and innovation, and encouraged the College community to make effective use of the resources provided.
Through the partnership, CARDTP has provided digital equipment and furniture to support the establishment and operation of the Innovation Hub. The handover represents an important milestone, with additional equipment expected as the Project completes the remaining procurement activities.
The ceremony included the official ribbon cutting, followed by a tour of the Innovation Hub, providing participants with an opportunity to view the new resources and facilities.
The investment reflects CARDTPโs broader commitment to ensuring that digital transformation translates into tangible opportunities for Saint Lucians, providing people with the skills, tools and environment necessary to learn, innovate and participate in the digital future.
