An agreement has been signed between the Grenada\u00a0 Office of Creative Affairs in the Ministry of Economic Development, Planning, Tourism,\u00a0 ICT and the Creative Economy and the T.A. Marryshow Community College, to offer\u00a0 scholarships to individuals wishing to pursue specialised courses under the Creative and\u00a0 Cultural Industries Associate Degree Programme.<\/p>\n
This partnership emerged from recommendations made earlier this year at Unleash Grenada\u2019s first cultural and creative conference. Mr. Orlando Romain-Advisor in the\u00a0 Ministry of Planning and Economic Development with responsibility for ICT, Digital\u00a0 Economy, and the Creative Economy, highlighted that the three major recommendations\u00a0 from Unleash were the need for more opportunities to encourage capacity building for\u00a0 creatives, more financing resources, and developing an institutional framework to support\u00a0 the creative sector. Mr. Romain said \u201cThis initiative will allow creatives the opportunity to\u00a0 enhance their skills and knowledge in specific areas of business related to the creative\u00a0 industry, consequently enhancing their ability to efficiently function as entrepreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Grenada Office of Creative Affairs is offering one hundred (100) scholarships for the\u00a0 inaugural academic year of the programme. Mr. Romain continued: \u201cThis significant\u00a0 collaboration with TAMCC underscores GOCA\u2019s commitment to making high-quality\u00a0 education accessible within the creative sectors. Through these scholarships, we aim to\u00a0 provide a platform for aspiring talents to develop their skills and contribute to the creative\u00a0vitality of Grenada.\u201d<\/p>\n
The agreement, which was signed by Minister for Education, Youth, Sports and Culture,\u00a0 Hon. David Andrew and Mr. Ronald Brunton, Principal of the college, paves the way for\u00a0 creatives to pursue courses in areas such as Introduction to Entertainment Law,\u00a0 Introduction to Entrepreneurship for Creative Industries, Marketing & Communications and Digital Media.<\/p>\n
Speaking following the signing ceremony, Hon. David Andrew stated, \u201cWe\u2019ve had the\u00a0 signing of an agreement between the T.A. Marryshow Community College, the Grenada\u00a0 Office of Creative Affairs, and the Ministry of Education, to facilitate those courses that\u00a0 will be made available to persons in the Creative industry through scholarships, and we\u00a0 are happy as a government to present such opportunities to our people\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mr. Isaac Bhagwan, Permanent Secretary (Ag.) in Ministry of Economic Development,\u00a0 Planning, Tourism, ICT and the Creative Economy, added that the initiative is part of the<\/p>\n
government\u2019s plans to build capacity in an alternative sector, where employment\u00a0 opportunities can be provided. He also highlighted, \u201cThe courses are tailored to the\u00a0 particular needs of the Creative sector, and will be done at flexible times to facilitate the\u00a0 persons involved in the creative industries.\u201d<\/p>\n
This collaborative endeavour represents a step towards accessible, high-quality\u00a0 education, in alignment with the government\u2019s commitment to empower creatives and advance the nation\u2019s creative landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
