The Ministry of Culture, Youth, Sports, and Community Development in Dominica is gearing up to host its highly anticipated Short Course Certificate Award Ceremony on November 21, 2025, at 2:30 PM. The event, to be held at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital Amphitheatre, will recognize the accomplishments of over 100 young individuals who have successfully completed an intensive eight-week training program. These sessions, conducted across seven communities and one online platform, aimed to equip participants aged 16 to 35 with practical, market-ready skills to enhance their employability, foster entrepreneurship, and support personal development. The training, which ran from November 2024 to November 2025, was offered free of charge and covered a diverse range of specialized modules, including Small Electronic Repair, Basic Sewing, Canva & Photoshop Design, Financial Literacy, Beginner Videography, Digital Devices Maintenance & Repair, Digital Literacy, and Public Speaking & Leadership Presence. Additionally, participants benefited from weekly Soft Skills Workshops that focused on essential areas such as communication, teamwork, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, workplace culture, leadership, stress management, and time management. The Youth Development Division expressed its commitment to continuing its efforts to empower young people through initiatives like the Digital Literacy & Work Readiness Program, the Heavy Equipment & Truck Operations Program, and community-based leadership and life skills workshops. The Ministry looks forward to celebrating the achievements of the graduates and reaffirms its dedication to supporting youth empowerment across Dominica.
