On Friday, 5 July 2025, the Antigua and Barbuda Trades & Labour Union (AT&LU) held a recognition ceremony at its Head Office on North Street to honour the accomplishments of the first recipients of the AT&LU Scholarship Programme.
The Scholarship Programme, launched in January 2025, awarded scholarships to four individuals for short courses at the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus and the Cipriani College of Labour and Co-Operative Studies in Trinidad and Tobago.
The awardees include two members of the AT&LU and two members of staff, all of whom successfully completed their respective courses of study:

- Khadijah Millwood – Office Management
- Gameel Phillip – Supervisory Management
- Kerry Dyer (AT&LU Staff) – Labour Law
Cipriani College of Labour and Co-Operative Studies
- Jarmin Pryce-Miller (AT&LU Staff) – Industrial Relations
AT&LU President Bernard DeNully commended the awardees on their achievements and encouraged them to build on this success by pursuing further education.
General Secretary Alrick Daniel reflected on the Union’s proud legacy of educating workers—dating back to its founding during the plantation era—and reaffirmed its continued commitment to worker education.
Deputy General Secretary Avelyn Watley congratulated the recipients and expressed pride in their accomplishments on behalf of the Union.
Although awardee Gameel Phillip was unable to attend the event due to personal reasons, his achievement was acknowledged and celebrated.
The ceremony was attended by members of the AT&LU Executive Committee and specially invited guests of the awardees.
The Antigua and Barbuda Trades & Labour Union remains steadfast in its mission to not only advocate for workers’ rights but also to empower them through education and continuous training.
