The Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA) has made a contribution to the Technical Cadet Corp Programme (TCCP), which serves as a valuable extra-curricular activity impacting more than 100 students from 10 schools on Grand Bahama.
Joseph Hall, the programme’s assistant director, said: “We are trying to fulfill our mandate that the government has implemented years ago.
“Being in Grand Bahama, this is what you call the industrial centre of the Bahamas, so we want to be able to produce young bright minds who, when they finish high school, they will be able to fill those roles in any company.”
Mr Hall added: “I am grateful to the Grand Bahama Port Authority for considering the youth of our nation, and the future of our nation ,by giving us this donation that will go a long way for us.
“It will indeed assist us in purchasing some of the technical items for the programme, such as rods, wires and other apparatus that we will need for a practical presentation in the department.
“We are very grateful for this and we want to say thanks to the Grand Bahama Port Authority for their kind consideration, because we know that there are many who seek their support.”
GBPA president, Ian Rolle, said: “It is indeed our pleasure to lend our support to the Technical Cadet Corp Programme here on Grand Bahama. This initiative is without a doubt one that is truly beneficial to students who have expressed an interest in professions within the industrial sector.
“We look forward to seeing the bright minds that would have benefited from the teachings from this programme’s instructors.”
