Objective

Celebrated on the fourth Thursday of April every year, under the auspices of the United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Girls in ICT Day highlights the need to promote technology career opportunities for girls and women in the ICT sector.

The Day serves to inspire both government and the private sector to find ways to equip girls and young women with the skills they need to become ICT professionals.

Under this year’s theme, Digital Skills for Life, the ITU, in consultation with youth stakeholders, has identified that for girls and young women to thrive in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers, they need to acquire skills to become both ICT users and creators in the digital world.

This year, the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) with the support of Restore A Sense of I Can, will host the CTU Girls in ICT Day 2023.

The Day will feature presentations on educating the 4^th industrial revolution generation, income generating opportunities online, staying safe online, and an interactive Q&A session conducted by a celebrity influencer. There are prizes to be won.
