POINTE-À-PITRE, Guadeloupe — Guadeloupe is reaching an important milestone in its plans to prepare workers for the territory’s digital and technological transformation, with a public online consultation closing on August 10, 2026.

The consultation forms part of the development of the CPRDFOP 2026–2030, a regional plan focused on training, professional guidance and the skills Guadeloupe will need over the coming years.

Digital transformation is one of the major transitions being considered as authorities develop the roadmap, alongside demographic, environmental, energy, economic and social changes.

The initiative brings together employment organisations, training providers, educational stakeholders, businesses and public institutions to identify emerging skills requirements.

For Guadeloupe’s technology sector, the process could influence future investment in digital training, information technology, cybersecurity, programming and other technology-related skills.

The consultation also reflects growing recognition that technological change is reshaping the types of jobs and qualifications required by businesses.

Building a stronger digital workforce could help Guadeloupe improve its competitiveness while creating new opportunities for younger residents and entrepreneurs.

The regional authorities are expected to use feedback from the consultation as they continue developing the 2026–2030 strategy.

The latest initiative highlights the increasing importance of technology education and digital skills in Guadeloupe’s long-term economic development.
