The Saint Lucia Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, in collaboration with Orbtronics Ltd., has successfully concluded its Artificial Intelligence for Small Businesses Training Programme, a six-session hybrid series designed to equip the local business community with practical skills, knowledge, and understanding of AI Tools and uses.
The programme brought together entrepreneurs, professionals, and business teams eager to understand how Artificial Intelligence can be applied in everyday operations to improve productivity, enhance decision-making, and streamline business processes. Participants engaged in interactive sessions that combined demonstrations, real-world use cases, and guided discussions.
The training began with an introductory session exploring the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, including what AI is, what it is not, the different types of AI, and the key challenges associated with its use. This foundation helped participants build a clearer understanding of the technology and its relevance in today’s evolving business environment.
The series was coordinated by Anna-Kaye Boodhoo, General Manager of Orbtronics Ltd., whose expertise and facilitation supported a dynamic and engaging learning experience throughout the programme.
Over the course of the sessions, participants gained hands-on experience in a variety of practical AI tools and applications relevant to small and growing businesses. The training emphasized how AI can be leveraged to increase efficiency and productivity, as well as to unlock new opportunities for innovation, even without a technical background.
The Chamber extends its appreciation to all participants for their active participation and commitment to upskilling, and to Orbtronics Ltd. for their partnership in delivering this timely and impactful initiative. The Guest Speaker, who spoke about the use of AI to support coding, was also extremely well received by all participants.
As digital transformation continues to reshape the business landscape, the Chamber remains committed to providing opportunities that prepare Saint Lucia’s private sector to stay competitive, resilient, and future-ready.
