Through the use of speeches, brochures, slide shows and demonstrations, the students received information on the functions of the organizations which were represented and what it takes to be employed in the respective fields.

Delivering an oral presentation was motivational speaker Dr. Jules Ferdinand who spoke on career guidance.

Also addressing the students was Minister of Telecommunications Dr. Jerrol Thompson.

He said that career day would also empower the students with the knowledge so that they would be able to make better decisions as to their choices of subjects.

Christopher Sampson, the school’s guidance counselor, said that there are plans to make the activity and annual event.
