GCI’s mission is to create a global community of culturally diverse students and graduates, committed to the development of the Caribbean and its people. The institute has been developed by an international board of educationists and professionals, who believe that there is a void in critical training across the Caribbean. GCI’s mission is to fill this gap through the provision of educational programmes that are relevant to the health, hospitality and entrepreneurship innovative needs of the region while still meeting international standards.
