Corozal’s Cell Phone Repair Training for Women and Youth Ends

The Ministry of Investment, the National Women’s Commission, and the Corozal Think Tank have successfully concluded their innovative “Cell Phone Repair Course for Women and Youth” at the Corozal ITVET. The training, which ran from August 19 to August 30, 2024, aimed to address the shortage of skilled cell phone technicians in Belize and provide new self-employment opportunities.

The course consisted of 10 in-person sessions for 15 participants. Each trainee received a certificate of completion and a set of specialised repair equipment, including antistatic mats, electric multimeters, soldering irons, and magnifying lamps.

The initiative is part of a broader effort to diversify economic activities in the district and boost the Orange Economy. Chair of the Corozal Think Tank, Thea Garcia-Ramirez, encouraged residents to stay informed about upcoming training opportunities.
