Freeport, Grand Bahama – The Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited (GBPA) has recently made a contribution to the Technical Cadet Corp Programme (TCCP) which serves as a valuable extracurricular activity impacting over 100 high school students from some 10 schools on Grand Bahama.
Joseph Hall, programme Assistant Director said he was most appreciative of GBPA’s support as he and his team seeks to fulfill the mandate charted by the Bahamas government some years ago. “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 center 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,” he said.
Hall also said, “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 program 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,” he concluded.
Pleased to contribute to the lives of the island’s future leaders, 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 benefitted from the teachings from this programme’s instructors,” Rolle concluded.
