Flow and BTC Sponsor Caribbean Girls Hack Technocreativity Hackathon

Flow and BTC, consumer brands of C&W Communications - the region’s leading communications and entertainment provider, were platinum co-sponsors of Caribbean Girls Hack Technocreativity Hackathon which took place on Saturday, May 8, 2021. This, as the company continues to inspire more girls and young women to pursue studies and careers in ICT.

“We have been an advocate for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) so, it is especially important to us that we actively play a role in changing the current dynamic in the industry. The more females we inspire to enter the industry, the more we will see an increase in their representation in the labour market and the more diversity we will benefit from in the long term,” added Stephen Price, Country Manager, Flow Jamaica.

In its continued commitment to inspire girls and women across the region, C&W Communications through its consumer brands, Flow and BTC is staging a video competition for girls between 12 and 15 years where participants will submit a 2 - 3minute video on the topic: “Why is it important for girls/ women to pursue a career in ICT?” The company will also host a Girls in ICT Forum in June with several regional female ICT leaders as they demystify the path to a career in ICT and expand the dialogue on the various advances and opportunities in the ICT space.
