C&W Communications graduate programme continues to invest in Caribbean talent development
MIAMI, Florida — Three young professionals have been recruited to join C&W Communications’ highly competitive graduate programme.
They are: Jamar Salmon from Jamaica, Joshua Walters from Barbados and Sherene Soochit from Trinidad and Tobago.
Salmon, a University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona alumnus, has been assigned to Flow Jamaica, a subsidiary of C&W Communications. He describes the opportunity as a “dream come true”.
“The C&W Communications’ graduate programme is second to none, and the opportunities and resources that the company will invest in me will undoubtedly enable me to develop as a leader, both professionally and personally,” Jamar shared, adding that he is excited about exploring the opportunities available in product creation and business analysis.
Salmon recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Management Studies and Tourism Management from the University of the West Indies and also holds certification in financial investments from Bloomberg Education.
“We are thrilled to welcome the third cohort of graduates as we nurture and develop the next generation of leaders within the industry,” the company’s Vice President of People, Dom Boon said. “The graduate programme reflects our commitment to investing in emerging talent in the Caribbean region, by providing these young professionals with the tools, resources and guidance to excel in their individual career paths.”
Boon continued, “We are doing our part to ensure that these talented young professionals can embrace future leadership roles in the business.”
The programme targets recent university graduates with less than two years of experience and the potential for rapid advancement. Over the course of 24 months, participants engage in a series of challenging projects, immersive learning workshops, and mentoring experiences that equip them for managerial positions.
The graduates join eight other graduates from C&W’s sister companies in Costa Rica, Panama and Puerto Rico.
