The Bahamas Financial Services Board (BFS) continues to support The Guidance and Counseling Unit of the Special Services Section of the Ministry of Education in the Unit’s commitment to provide proper career guidance to all students in order to meet the evolving employment needs of the Bahamas. The Ministry has sought to partner with other Government agencies, corporate and civic organizations to effectively disseminate relevant career information across The Bahamas. To this end, earlier this year a National Planning Committee was formed in an effort to maximize available resources, to achieve stated goals.
Joining BFSB as cosponsors of the financial sector’s participation in NCAM were the Ministry of Finance, Rotary Club of East Nassau and Rotary Sunrise, all of which provided financial support as well as resources for the month-long schedule of activities.
In a collaborative effort to meet the many challenges facing graduates entering the workforce, the Planning Committee combined the resources of participating agencies and, under the theme “Career Awareness Today For A Global Tomorrow,” a number of events and activities were planned for October, designated National Career Awareness Month (NCAM). These activities included Speakers Circuits within secondary and primary schools, other school-based activities, a Scholarship Awareness Town Meeting, and a National Careers Fair.
