Residents living in the St. Philip’s North region now have a unique opportunity to advance their professional skills through a new scholarship initiative launched by local Member of Parliament Randy Baltimore. The program awards partial and full coverage for short certificate courses administered by the Lifelong Learning Unit at the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus. Per a public announcement shared by Baltimore, only a restricted number of awards will be distributed for the institution’s upcoming third-quarter academic session, which is scheduled to kick off on July 5 and wrap up on September 11. Spanning a full 10 weeks of instruction, the slate of courses caters to diverse professional and personal development goals, covering in-demand subjects that align with modern industry needs. Participants can choose from offerings including strategic human resource management, project management, property management, crisis and risk management, organizational leadership, conversational and professional Spanish, retail operations and merchandising, and the practical application of artificial intelligence in contemporary workplace settings. Baltimore has issued a call to action for all local residents who meet eligibility requirements and are interested in claiming one of the limited spots. To be considered for the award, candidates must fully fill out the official application form and compile all requested supporting documentation, submitting the complete package ahead of the firm application deadline. All submissions must be received by 4:30 p.m. local time on June 29, with no late applications accepted for consideration due to the tight timeline for course enrollment and program preparation. This initiative marks part of Baltimore’s ongoing efforts to expand access to upskilling and continuing education opportunities for constituents, helping local workers boost their employability and adapt to shifting labor market demands.
