Meanwhile, Chief Education Officer Susan Dougan said that at this juncture in their education it is important for them to start to make very important decision regarding their career choices. She said in this age of technology there is a need for Information Technology specialists and other occupations in that field. She encouraged the students to look at those areas as viable career options. (VM)
