The primary economic driver in Montego Bay is its thriving tourism and hospitality sector, and the Jamaican government anticipates that an additional 45,000 workers will be needed over the next decade to meet its employment requirements. This growth, however, stands in stark contrast to communities whose residents are grappling with social challenges, gender inequality, and a lack of vocational skills.
TUI Academy Jamaica focuses on skills training and job creation, with a specific emphasis on empowering women. By offering a dynamic and engaging learning environment, the programme enables trainees to boost their confidence and equip them with the skills and knowledge necessary to secure meaningful employment and build sustainable livelihoods. It is dedicated to enhancing the employment prospects of young Jamaicans in the Montego Bay area and aims to disrupt the cycle of poverty, alleviate social inequalities, and transform the lives of Western Jamaica residents.
