Level up even higher and increase your earning!
N.C.B. Foundation Level Up programme provides free virtual training in digital, financial, and life skills for unemployed or underemployed Jamaicans who have not completed tertiary-level studies. In partnership with Internet Income Jamaica, participants are exposed to digital short-term courses, some of which are internationally accredited, and AI (Artificial Intelligence) platform user-training that boosts proficiency and efficiency.
Aimed at equipping Jamaicans with digital skills that enhance their employability and entrepreneurial ventures, Level Up provides a complement of self-pace, virtual, and virtual one-on-one training in courses such as Freelancing 101, Fiverr 101, Upwork 101, Understanding AI (Artificial Intelligence), Financial Literacy, Social Media Content Creation, Press Releases, Resumes & Cover Letters, SEO Blog Content, Website Content, eCommerce, Email Marketing, Get Paid to Type and Make Calls, and more.
