ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Three public officers are set to receive training through the Caribbean Administration for Development Administration’s (CARICAD) Mid-Level Leadership Programme.

Dr Lavon Chalwell-Brewley, Calveia Scatliffe and Shaquana Vanterpool will participate in training sessions aimed at developing individuals for leadership roles within the Public Service, a press release from Government Information Services (GIS) today, September 12, 2023, stated.

The press release said public officers will be immersed into international and regional perspectives on leadership, develop sustainable strategies for continued excellence, and build a network of trusted colleagues, among other objectives.

Deputy Director of the Department of Human Resources, Ms Kaisa Penn said she looks forward to supporting the public officers in implementing the knowledge, skills and experiences gained through the training to support the transformation of our public service.

“We are excited to continue in our partnership with CARCAD in developing the leadership of our Public Service, and we continue to celebrate the success of the three participants of the Mid-Level Leadership Development Programme,” Penn stated.

    The Governor is responsible for the public service & they have failed it miserably for the past 30yrs but the "so-called" transparent COI the Governor called overlooked this and his failures & give him a pass mark. We as a people now have to continue to seek the right opportunities like these to continue to develop our people & ourselves as we have been doing.

    Despite the few critics and certain areas needing improvements, the BVI have a very good public service compared to most places in the world. Good move.

    Let’s hope this training is filtered on to ALL the government departments so that the element of customer service which is so poorly lacking in most departments could be improved. Not to mention the frustration that is caused when you call the various offices and nobody answers the phone. Improvements is desperately needed in the system.
