Grounded in the principles of inclusion, growth, and lifelong learning, IMPACT is a dual-branch programme designed to uplift both youth and adult learners through strategic, results-driven education.
Community IMPACT is a transformative education initiative tailored for adult learners. Offered free of charge, this programme is a proud expression of our commitment to social development. It provides accessible learning and skills development opportunities to empower individuals across Tobago, fostering personal growth, career advancement, and community enrichment. Learn more
