My focus will be on improving student experience and raising the hiring potential of our graduates by facilitating the development of the entrepreneurial skills necessary to thrive in today’s increasingly integrated marketplace.

Our future demands a more globalised workforce and I believe that at iCreate, we are extremely well-positioned to be a reliable avenue for Jamaicans looking to take part in that,” says Dominic.

“Since inception, I have led the Institute, developing a number of programs and forging international partnerships that saw us training thousands of individuals throughout the region,” says [Tyrone Wilson, Founder of iCreate Limited].

“I’m excited to be handing over the reins of the Institute to someone who shows the same level of passion as I did in the beginning. He joins a committed and capable General Manager – Shanan who together, we expect them to move the Institute forward in a post-pandemic world,” Wilson continues.

At their Annual General Meeting in 2020, iCreate announced several initiatives to expand the company which included real estate and the acquisition of e-commerce company, Mobile Edge.

“My job is still President and CEO of iCreate Limited, the listed company.
