CPEC Boosts Revenue and Professional Training

The Continuing and Professional Education Centre (CPEC) continued to strengthen the Global Campus’s revenue-generating partnerships during the period under review. A second phase of collaboration with the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) was confirmed, focusing on customer service and project management, with training which began in September 2024. This initiative reflects the CPEC’s dedication to expanding market-relevant professional education. The partnership with the Government of Guyana under the GOAL project also grew significantly. In the summer of 2023, over 2,000 scholars were trained, generating US$1,158,392 in revenue. Several other projects contributed to the CPEC’s revenue during the reporting period. For example, the collaboration with the CDB on the Financial Literacy and Management project, which concluded in September 2023, had a total budget of US$53,500. The Disaster Risk Financing for Small Island Developing States initiative commenced in September 2023 with a budget of US$20,000. These partnerships highlight the Centre’s active engagement with external stakeholders to support professional education and development across the region.
