ECTEL Empowers Girls to Get Connected with ICT Share this post: The regulating body for electronic communications in the Eastern Caribbean, the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority (ECTEL) is calling all girls to participate in an interactive virtual tech talk from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. (Saint Lucia time) on Friday, April 30 th for International Girls in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Day that was observed under the theme ‘Connected girls, creating brighter futures’. “We believe that this is the perfect opportunity to join others worldwide to create more platforms to enable girls to have greater representation amongst top performers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). The observance also provides greater support towards education and skills training, so that more girls and young women will be encouraged to actively pursue careers in STEAM to address the gender digital gap,” said ECTEL’s Managing Director, Mr. Andrew Millet.
