Youth Development Division Expands Digital Devices Maintenance & Repair Training to the Kalinago Territory

The Youth Development Division is proud to announce the launch of its Digital Devices Maintenance & Repair Short Course at the St. Cyr Innovation Hub. The program will officially commence on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 and run through Thursday, July 17, 2025, with classes held every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

This initiative follows the successful completion of the first cycle of the Digital Devices Maintenance & Repair Course, which was previously held at the Dominica Legion Building in Roseau. That program trained participants from across the island, including communities such as Soufriere, San Sauveur, Trafalgar, Castle Comfort, Salisbury and Castle Bruce, equipping them with valuable hands-on skills in small electronics repair.

Recognizing the demand for this training in rural districts, the Division is expanding its reach to provide even greater access to young people across the East. To support participation, transportation will be provided for youth from across the district to the St. Cyr Innovation Hub.

Each training session will consist of both technical instruction and personal development. The first hour of every second training day will be dedicated to Soft Skills Development, facilitated by the District Youth Development Officer. Topics will include communication skills, teamwork, conflict resolution, and workplace readiness, ensuring holistic preparation for participants entering the workforce or entrepreneurship.

The Digital Devices course is just one aspect of the Youth Development Division’s broader mandate to prepare young Dominicans for national growth and global competitiveness. Through initiatives like the Youth Skills Training Programme (YSTP), Leadership and Counseling Programs, Dominica Youth Business Trust and the 4-H Movement, the Division continues to nurture a new generation equipped with technical expertise, civic responsibility, and leadership values.

The Youth Development Division remains committed to equipping Dominica’s young people with the skills necessary to thrive in a technology-driven economy, especially in emerging sectors of maintenance, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
