Managing the team that oversees the importation of all goods into Jamaica seems like an extremely daunting task, but 41-year-old Damean Beckford handles it seamlessly.
Beckford manages the entry processing unit at the Jamaica Customs Agency (JCA). The unit processes all import declarations, including calculating the charges where necessary.
But before he was hired 17 years ago, Beckford was preparing to do a degree in production and operations management, having already achieved an associate degree. However, that area of study was not offered in Jamaica at the time and overseas studies were too expensive for the Portmore resident.

NCSC Names Academic Centers of Excellence in Cybersecurity Education
Abertay University has been named among the first eight UK universities to be awarded Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Education by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
The announcement comes as the region receives £11.7m of UK and Scottish Government funding through the Tay Cities Region Deal, which will unlock major investment in Dundee’s cyberQuarter project which brings a new research and development center to Abertay’s campus in Dundee.
In granting Abertay Academic Centre of Excellence recognition, the NCSC recognized the plans for the Dundee cyberQuarter, which is designed to attract existing cybersecurity firms to Dundee, support the creation of new companies and boost the security and resilience of the Scottish business community, as well as the high quality of the University’s degree programs.
