Why This Matters
Students from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to take part in career development activities, while the jobs they expect to have one day are at greater risk of automation... this means, there is a greater chance that they might end up out of work

What We're Doing To Fix This
We break down the complex + compelling ideas about a future that is constantly changing.
We equip secondary school students, young adults, and underserved communities in Trinidad & Tobago with employability skills, digital competencies, and innovation mindsets. Through hands-on programs and transformational learning experiences, we help youth take a proactive role in shaping their futures.
what's creating the digital gap
The Speed of Technological Change
In a world where innovation is constant, laws struggle to keep up. The breakneck speed at which technology advances can leave gaps in regulatory frameworks. This not only creates uncertainties in legal and ethical dimensions but also demands a heightened sense of digital responsibility from emerging professionals like yourself.
The Corporate Ladder vs. Cross-Functional Teams:
Gone are the days of a linear climb up the corporate ladder. Modern workplaces are embracing cross-functional teams that value diverse skill sets. This shift requires young professionals to be adaptable, collaborative, and equipped with a broad skill set that goes beyond traditional job descriptions.
AI and the Evolution of Job Roles
The rise of AI is transforming industries, automating routine tasks, and creating new job roles. As a result, it’s imperative for young individuals to stay ahead by developing skills that complement and enhance AI capabilities rather than compete with them.
We are shaping a tomorrow where technology doesn't just advance, but elevates the entire community.
