GraceKennedy Foundation is expanding its digital up-skilling programme for young Caribbean nationals to this year provide scholarships for students in Jamaica pursuing careers in digital technology. Applications are now being accepted by GKF for its new GK Digital Institute Scholarship Programme, which will offer seven scholarships in 2022, each valued at $200,000. The scholarships are open to qualified applicants in their second year at the University of the West Indies, University of Technology, the Edna Manley College for the Visual and Performing Arts and the Northern Caribbean University who are enrolled in digitally focused undergraduate degree programmes. CEO of GKF, Caroline Mahfood, commented that they’re really excited about expanding the scholarship programme to align with GK’s Digital Transformation agenda. She says it’s all about training young talent for jobs of the future, which supports the development of creative, tech savvy young people for the benefit of the company and the nation’s digital agenda. Recipients of the scholarship will automatically qualify for a summer internship in GK’s Digital Factory, which was launched in early 2021. GK’s Digital Institute will also provide on-the-job exposure through coaching and mentorship of the students. 🔗 Tap the link in @nationwide90fm bio for the full story. #NationWide #NW90FM #MyNationWide #NWSports #NWInternational #NWBreakingNews #NWFeature #NWInterviews #NWAt5 #scholarshipjamaica (at ScholarshipJamaica.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcS7lKkOubp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
