A TOTAL of 160 students who have completed Baha Mar’s Leadership Development Institute (LDI) curriculum will graduate on Tuesday.

The students received training through LDI, the non-profit training institute supported by the resort.

“Baha Mar is building a culture of better-than-best service, beginning with the Bahamians that we train and hire. LDI is giving Bahamians from diverse communities the chance to invest in themselves and start their careers in hospitality at this transformative resort,” said Baha Mar’s Chief Operating Officer, Paul V Pusateri.

The students, chosen from hundreds of applicants, received training in day and evening classes as part of Baha Mar’s multimillion-dollar investment in training and recruiting Bahamians to work at the resort. The 16-week course, for men and women aged 16 to 24, and 25 years and older respectively, provide job readiness training in areas such as communication and time management. Additionally, the courses teach leadership, numeracy and parenting skills.

The graduates have a guaranteed job offer from Baha Mar in areas such as food and beverage, housekeeping, and security.

Keynote speaker, activist and author Dr Calvin Mackie will tell the graduates the story of his personal path to success.

The ceremony will be held on August 19 at the Meli� Nassau Beach Resort.
