The Economic Development Department (EDD) is encouraging individuals to apply for its latest fintech training programme prior to the June 5 deadline. In collaboration with the Department of Workforce Development and various industry leaders, the EDD has now launched its third annual fintech training initiative. This programme underscores the Government’s commitment to developing Bermuda’s fintech ecosystem, and to providing Bermudians with the tools and opportunities to thrive within this emerging sector.

The programme utilizes a globally recognized fintech curriculum, allowing participants to delve deep into online classes recommended by the EDD. The objective is to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of how technology can be utilized to modernize financial systems. This includes several free online courses aimed at enhancing participants’ soft skills. The course also affords opportunities for networking with industry leaders, including executives from local Digital Asset Business Act-licensed companies.

Speaking on the impact of the programme, past participant Owen Millett, lauded it as transformative beyond his expectations, while Maryem Biadillah, the EDD’s acting director, stressed the importance of fintech in bridging the gap between traditional financial services and the digital future. She also emphasized Bermuda’s commitment to positioning itself as a leading fintech hub.
