The Youth Development Division has announced the launch of a Digital Devices Maintenance & Repair Short Course at the St. Cyr Innovation Hub. The Division shared the details via a press release, stating that the program is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, and will continue until Thursday, July 17, 2025. Classes will convene every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.<\/p>\n

This initiative follows the completion of the first cycle of the Digital Devices Maintenance & Repair Course, previously conducted at the Dominica Legion Building in Roseau. That program provided training to participants from various communities, including Soufriere, San Sauveur, Trafalgar, Castle Comfort, Salisbury, and Castle Bruce, and aimed to equip them with valuable hands-on skills in small electronics repair.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the demand for this training in rural areas, the Division states that it is expanding its efforts to enhance access for young people throughout the East. To facilitate participation, transportation will be provided for youth from various districts to the St. Cyr Innovation Hub. Each training session will incorporate both technical instruction and personal development. The first hour of every second training day will focus on Soft Skills Development, led by the District Youth Development Officer. Topics will include communication skills, teamwork, conflict resolution, and workplace readiness, thereby preparing participants for entry into the workforce or entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

The Digital Devices course is listed as one element of the Youth Development Division\u2019s broader mission to prepare young Dominicans for national growth and global competitiveness. Others include the Youth Skills Training Programme (YSTP), Leadership and Counseling Programs, Dominica Youth Business Trust, and the 4-H Movement.<\/p>\n

The Youth Development Division states that it is dedicated to providing Dominica\u2019s youth with the skills necessary to thrive in a technology-driven economy, with a particular emphasis on emerging sectors in maintenance, innovation, and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
