Basseterre, St. Kitts, January 25, 2024 (ELEVATE):  ELEVATE is excited to unveil the successful launch of its innovative series of consultations and training sessions, designed to enrich both personal and professional growth. This cutting-edge initiative is currently making a significant impact in St Kitts and Nevis, focusing on the substantial enhancement of life and career competencies among its participants.

The comprehensive manual spans three modules and 13 sessions, covering a broad spectrum of personal development and career-related topics, to be completed in a cumulative 16 hours.  

Adding to the robust curriculum, the financial literacy training covers a range of essential topics such as setting personal goals; developing a budget; tracking income and expenses; cultivating a saving habit; planning for everyday needs; goals, and emergencies, as well as borrowing basics, debt management, and strategies for wealth and asset building.  

The training for the participants commenced last week and will continue throughout the programme The first week of training concluded with a well-attended general meeting, which provided a platform for participants to offer valuable feedback, ensuring the programme’s alignment with their needs and aspirations.
