Earning a living from your art takes more than talent. You need fundamental business skills, networks and collaborators to bring those ideas to life.

So, how can we strengthen the support systems that help Jamaica’s creatives turn their passion into opportunity?

Let’s talk about it! 💬

Vocational Education & Creative Enterprise — Transforming Skills into Opportunity is designed for educators, students, school leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs and others shaping the future of vocational education and training, particularly those working in the cultural and creative industries.

From Cuba to the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and beyond, CREAC has been building bridges and creating pathways for Caribbean creators to present their best work, earn real money, unearth opportunities globally, and make a positive impact at home.

Over the past three years, we’ve:

★ Brought Caribbean and other international partners together to create spaces for innovation and cultural entrepreneurship, virtually and in person
★ Developed culturally relevant training resources and learning opportunities for Caribbean creatives and entrepreneurs
★ Built regional and international networks connecting artists, educators and institutions
★ Worked directly with communities to expand capacity and access to outlets for creativity, culture and entrepreneurship
★ Hosted the annual CREAC Fair as part of the Romerías de Mayo Festival in Holguín, Cuba
★ Held transnational meetings bringing our partners together to enable intersectional strategy development and knowledge exchange.

Now, as we approach the final stages of this three-year journey, we’re closing out the project by hosting our partners in Jamaica to continue the knowledge sharing and cultural exchange.

Jamaica just celebrated big wins at the WorldSkills competition—proof that our vocational education systems are nurturing greatness.

But, what exactly are we doing really well? What could we be doing better at? Where do administrator, student and instructor perspectives align and where do they differ?

Mek wi talk bout it.
