LOS ANGELES, June 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "We have to encourage as many Bahamians as possible to remain on the cutting edge of technology, to understand the new way of doing business and to ensure that we compete with the rest of the world," said Bahamas Director of Labor, John Pinder at the opening ceremonies. As many as 40% of Bahamian workers were either unemployed or facing furloughs in September of last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A larger digital workforce could help the economy in the Bahamas, largely based on tourism, to grow and diversify.
"Digital skills have become a requisite to excel, not only in prioritized economic sectors like financial services and tourism, but in all Bahamian industries that desire to compete internationally," said Avasant Partner and President of the LAC Region, Anupam Govil.
