CTU’s Webinar for Youth on World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) Outcomes.

April 26, 2024
Venue:

As part of its commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders in the telecommunications sector, the CTU is organizing this webinar to provide young professionals and students with insights into the key decisions and developments emerging from the WRC. This event presents a valuable opportunity for youth to gain a deeper understanding into the international regulatory framework governing radiocommunications and its implications for the Caribbean region. The CTU therefore encourages young professionals, students, and anyone with an interest in telecommunications to join us for this informative webinar.

The CTU believes that empowering youth with knowledge and insights into global telecommunications developments is essential for driving innovation and progress in the Caribbean region.
