In her lecture, 𝗗𝗿.

𝗗𝗿.

It’s time to breathe. We at the Institute of Caribbean Studies (ICS), UWI, Mona, have reached the halfway mark of our first round of short-course offerings, and I will declare the beginning a success, but the best is yet to come. Here is a look at my presentation at the launch of this initiative where I outlined my own vision for the Entertainment and Cultural Enterprise Management (ECEM) short courses program. The ICS stands ready to deliver the needed management training for the entertainment and culture sectors.

For persons interested in the current offerings, you may visit the ICS website. Use the link in my bio and choose the options below Featured UWI Short Courses. New offerings will be added to that website as they are finalized.

“As Jamaica seeks to maximize the benefits of tourism and creative enterprise, institutions such as the ICS have an important responsibility to help interpret, develop, and strengthen the sectors that drive economic and cultural growth,” said Kam-Au Amen a lecturer at the Institute. “We believe that better-trained professionals and entrepreneurs are essential to creating and managing the opportunities that will transform Jamaica’s entertainment, cultural, and tourism product.” For persons interested in the current offerings, you may visit the ICS website.
