Initiatives to Empower Women and Youth Launched in Corozal 

The Ministry of Investment, through its Investment Policy and Compliance Unit (IPCU), in collaboration with the Corozal Think Tank, launched two new initiatives at the Corozal ITVET: the “Animation Bootcamp for Belizean Women and Girls” and the “Cell Phone Repair Course for Women and Youth.”

The “Animation Bootcamp for Belizean Women and Girls” aims to equip women in the Corozal, Orange Walk, and Belize Districts with basic digital skills in graphic art and animation, enabling them to create short, animated films. These skills are increasingly in demand across various industries, including film, television, gaming, advertising, and marketing.

The “Cell Phone Repair Course for Women and Youth” addresses the need for skilled technicians in cell phone maintenance and repair. Currently, there is no training course of this kind in Belize, and access to cell phone repair services is limited in many parts of the country.
