The ever-increasing interdependence of the 21st Century hyper-globalized, Fourth Industrial Revolution-enabled "network (global) society" offers significantopportunities for diplomatic dialog and collaboration, broadly conceived; but it also poses obstacles,which a new generation of Caribbean professional will have to be well equipped to effectively navigate.Now more than ever, young Caribbean professionals need to effectively manoeuvre to gain expertiseand skills per modern diplomacy education, which they can immediately apply to help achieve successand prepare to make a greater impact in their academic and/or professional pursuits. In doing so, theyare investing in their increasingly global future.The DAOC is deeply committed to continuing its mission to help train a new generation of diplomat fromthe Region.The DAOC's teaching programmes are best suited for junior to mid-career professionals from thecircum-Caribbean, who work for government, business and civil society organizations, as well asinternational organizations.The Diplomatic Academy's multi-rung or three-tiered study track offers high-quality, immersive learningand short-term, hands-on practical training in modern diplomacy education, as a complement to formaltraining and on-the-job training in that area. Its professional development-centric module-based or customized/tailor-made workshop teaching programmes, which are held over several days, guide participants in honing their diplomatic capabilities. They impart the knowledge, essential (especially soft) skills,insights and networks needed of 'global thinkers' to fast-track a career path and drive greater success inthe multi-focal profession of diplomacy.The teaching programmes are interactive and, while they are situated in an academic or disciplinary context, the approach to teaching is analytical. It is practice- and teamwork-oriented via techniques such asthe use of real-world case studies, peer mentoring and, on a case-by-case basis, study visits, amongothers. The means of action are four-fold:i.ii.iii.iv.innovative and experiential sharing and learning;simulations and advanced training methods;networking with superior local, regional and international expertise; andoutreach beyond the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).Depending on the target audience's teaching delivery preference, programmes can be undertaken oncampus or arrangements can also be made for the Academy's team to deliver same off-site. Use ofdistance technology in some future programmes may be possible, although face-to-face interaction isinvaluable. The language of instruction is English.Upon the successful completion of its training, participants are conferred with a DAOC credential.Published by the Diplomatic Academy of the Caribbean (DAOC), St. Augustine, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
