Cell Phone Repair Course for Women and Youth Launched in Corozal

A new training program focused on cell phone repair has been launched in Corozal Town. The Corozal Think Tank, which oversees the Regional Economic Development Masterplan for Corozal District, is collaborating with the Ministry of Investment and the Women’s Commission to provide this training.

The “Cell Phone Repair Course for Women and Youth” aims to equip participants with skills for maintaining and repairing cell phones. The program addresses the current shortage of technicians in Belize and the limited availability of cell phone repair services.

The training is part of a broader effort to enhance skills in sectors important to the Orange Economy. In a press release issued on Monday, the ministry stated, “The objective of the course is to bring sustainable self-employment opportunities to the participants. It is being implemented because there is need for technicians who are skilled in the upkeep, cleaning, maintenance and repair of cell phone devices. There is currently no training course of this kind in Belize, and the offer of cell phone repair service is lacking in various parts of [the] country.”
