Health Policy Training: PAHO and UWI marked the completion of a postgraduate health policy and health systems programme, training 11 professionals across eight Caribbean countries/territories, including Saint Lucia. Digital Skills Boost: The OECS Advanced Digital Skills Scholarship Programme opens Sept. 10 and runs to Sept. 20, offering advanced training in areas like AI, cybersecurity, cloud, data analytics, fintech, and UX/UI. STEM & Learning Abroad: Bonita Bart, Saint Lucia’s sole Chevening Scholar for 2026/27, heads to the UK’s Bartlett School of Architecture for postgraduate study in architectural history. Tech for Consumers: Apple expands iCloud+ in 100+ countries by bundling Apple Arcade, Apple TV, and Apple Music stations (with family sharing), though the US and some major regions are excluded.
