The past two years have shown that digital transformation is no longer optional. It is a central tool for public service delivery, citizen engagement, and catalysing new industries and opportunities. Digital is a key enabler for development in Small Island Developing States, with a crucial role in building their resilience and economic recovery.

This course discusses building inclusive and digitally accessible environments and communities, underlining the importance of digital inclusivity and accessibility for all people, empowered through ICTs regardless of gender, age, ability, or context.

One of the many barriers that persons with disabilities face in accessing employment opportunities is that many career sites and job portals do not contain accessible digital content and have not been designed and developed with ICT accessibility requirements in mind. Employers committed to inclusive employment need to be aware of this. Guaranteeing that job portals meet the necessary accessibility requirements is critical for persons with disabilities to enter and thrive in the labour market.

Aimed at parents and guardians, this course covers child online behaviours, threats, and risks, helping to build open conversations about cyber safety in the family setting.
