Seventeen students are taking part in the second Strategic Human Resource management course launched by St. Paul’s Synergies and Member of Parliament for St. Paul, E. P. Chet Greene, through the University of the West Indies, Five Islands Campus (UWI FIC).
Coordinator of the programme, Arlene Weste, explained that the course will run for thirteen weeks.
Last year, twenty-one participants completed a Quality Service Management in Hospitality and Tourism course that was also offered in collaboration with the UWI FIC.
St. Paul’s Synergies, which is a non-profit entity associated with the St. Paul Empowerment Centre in Liberta, also plans to start another training module in March. The module, this time offered in partnership with the UWI Open Campus, will focus on Computer Literacy.
Other courses that have been completed include mask making, floral arrangements, small engine repair, soap making, information technology and QuickBooks.
While St. Paul’s residents in particular are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities being offered, people who reside outside of the constituency are also welcomed to take advantage of the training programmes and the chance they give to improve one’s education and skills set.
