The Grand Bahama Shipyard has presented certificates to staff members who completed a Principals of Management course at Terreve College last week.

“This yard is in its infancy,” said chief executive, Carl Gustav Rotkirch, “and the young Bahamian team that we are assembling now is the future of this growing ship repair business.”

With this in mind, Don Forbes, the Shipyard’s training manager, contacted Terreve College and designed a Principals of Management course for staff, tailored to address leadership, accountability and productive management skills.

The course was taken by three employees and six technical trainees, and was taught at night at the Terreve campus by Alfred Stubbs for seven weeks.

“I really enjoyed the class and the opportunity,” said Justan Campbell, a junior project planner at the yard. “Coming back from college in the US, I was pleased that the course was really intensive and that my fellow classmates took the material seriously and we excelled together.”

Those who participated in the course included Ashley Burnett, Justan Campbell, Gevon Hall, Jeffrey DeGregory, Antonessia Moxey, Natasha Bethel, Theo Pelecanos, Samuel Miller and Wilton Forbes.
