The private sector on Nevis was commended for its response to a call by the Human Resource Department, Premier’s Ministry in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) in effort to impact the community with it’s “Get Trained get Certified” campaign.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry Mr. Chesley Manners told the Department of Information on May 17, 2008, following his Department’s annual Career Fair that the private sector had taken up the challenge and rallied behind the Department’s drive.
“We were very pleased with the response from the private sector. They came out in their numbers and they have come on board as we tried to promote the various careers. In all we had around 20 booths so the children had good exposure.
“I think with continued guidance they (children) can go into careers that would help them to grow professionally and of course make some money and also to fulfill their desire to serve mankind,” he said.
Mr. Manners explained that the Fair’s main target group was students but it also facilitated persons who were considering a career change to promote self development and to pursue careers that would facilitate nation building.
“In order for development to be well balanced, we need to ensure that we show equal appreciation for all careers and also to encourage our youngsters to move into the different areas that would facilitate constructive nation building,” he said.
