NASSAU, Bahamas -- Harborside Resort at Atlantis employees have the opportunity to enhance their careers or explore side trades, after meeting with a cadre of faculty and staff at a Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institution (BTVI) career fair organized exclusively for them.
Held recently at the resort, scores of workers turned out for the information session and mini career fair, which showcased the myriad of associate degrees, diploma and certificate courses offered at BTVI.
Harborside Human Resources Manager, Jacquelyn Gardiner encouraged the maintenance and space cleaning staff to take advantage of the opportunity to improve their skills or gain new ones.
"You work at Harborside and you take home a salary, but from the survey we got, a lot of you are interested in going back to school, so utilize today's information. We have great carpenters, mechanics, servers; we want you to use your talent so it could become an extra source of income," said Ms. Gardiner.
BTVI's Dean of Construction Trades, Alexander Darville said the career fair proved to be a win-win situation for both organizations.
"This fair means that industry recognizes BTVI for its full potential. The mere fact Harborside approached us is evidence of our worth. From Fashion and Cosmetology to Business and Information Technology, the link has been made; while their employees can sharpen their skills, the door may now be open for possible internships for our students," said Mr. Darville.
