Objective: To profile the wide range of careers in the financial services industry
On October 14-15, the Bahamas Financial Services Board and the Rotary Club of East Nassau will join forces to sponsor a Careers Fest at Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort and Spa – incorporating exhibits and a lecture series. The event is being co-sponsored by the Ministries of Education, Finance, and Financial Services and Investments.
The two-day event will focus solely on careers in the financial services industry, targetting senior level grades in the public and private secondary schools. Sponsored as part of BFSB's ongoing Financial Centre Focus (FCF) public awareness and education programme, Careers Fest 2004 will showcase the various career opportunities within financial services.
Exhibits will be manned by Industry Professional Associations and Regulators, with each providing details on career options in the respective sectors. A selected number of corporate sponsors will host exhibits, providing a more comprehensive view of the services available in the sector.
Complementing the exhibits will be a Lecture Series, focusing on academic qualifications and skill sets necessary for entering the world of financial services.
As in previous years, it is anticipated that there will be approximately 800 students participating from the public and private secondary schools in New Providence.
