The event, held at the GK headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica, brought together students, educators, and industry professionals to explore the world of digital careers. Students were exposed to various digital skills, including coding, web design, and data analysis, through interactive workshops and presentations. The GraceKennedy Digital Factory, established in 2018, is a hub for innovation and technology in Jamaica. It aims to bridge the digital literacy and skills gap by providing training and resources to individuals and organizations.

This section of the forum focused on the future of work, exploring the changing landscape of the company’s workforce and the skills needed to thrive in this evolving environment. The forum also featured a panel discussion on the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This panel discussed the benefits of a diverse workforce and the challenges of achieving DEI goals.

This initiative aimed to provide a comprehensive suite of digital services, including data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. The Digital Factory was designed to be a collaborative space where clients could work with Kennedy’s experts to develop and implement innovative solutions. The Digital Factory’s success was driven by its focus on collaboration, innovation, and client-centricity.
