Let’s all get laser focused on a specialization 

Examples of other countries who have developed specializations:  Island of Hawaii has chosen shipbuilding as their

specialization using CAD technology to teach shipbuilding  Schools in Taiwan teaching expert mold-making using 3D CAD Technology



What can we do? Think about Jamaica’s resources…

 How about building alternative energy specialization

in Sun, Wind and Wave Technologies.  Study how to design and manufacture those systems CONFIDENTIAL
