Collaborative Approach A collaborative approach will be encouraged for the implementation of the Plan. Private and public sector partnerships will be pursued while benchmarking of international standards. The role of the international community and the Grenadian private sector will also be actively promoted, particularly in terms of the transfer of information, benchmarking and keeping abreast of developments in the sector. The private sector will be urged and encouraged to take over and drive the continuing growth of the sector. Government will encourage the private sector to be a partner in building out infrastructure, in developing our human resource, in providing jobs and in taking on development activities. Government will promote a regional and hemispheric approach to those elements that lend themselves to such cooperation. Human Resource Development The human resource strategy will seek to produce trained Grenadian suitable for employment across the full range of ICT activities. • Formal and non-formal training • Private sector training initiatives • E-training over a range of training methods • The Physically Challenged. • Scholarship support for talented students. • Development of an appropriate IT Curriculum to inculcate the IT culture at the Primary, Secondary levels, and in private training institutions. • Training of trainers to deliver high end programming curricula. 9 A STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN FOR GRENADA Anurag Sinha
