NASSAU , BAHAMAS – The summer break has officially begun for thousands of young individuals across the country.

And if you are a parent still looking for an initiative to engage your children, this next report may offer a viable solution.

It features a workshop focused on mathematics and science, and if it proves successful, it could potentially inspire a career path that addresses a national concern.

“We will encourage them because we have good math teachers at BTVI, especially the infamous Mr. Stanley Gordon, who brought me from a C to an A. I got emotional right there.”

A heartfelt response from the co-chair of the Bahamas Young Surveyors Network, Don Kemp, during a joint press conference at the Bahamas Technical & Vocational Institute.

In partnership with the Bahamas Association of Land Surveyors, Civil Society Bahamas, the Commonwealth of The Bahamas Trade Union Congress, and the Bahamas Institute of STEM & Innovation Alliance, these organizations are making a national appeal to recruit individuals for the Bahamas Young Surveyors Network.

Kemp, in his remarks, described how the teachers involved in the program contributed to his career advancement, adding that he entered the profession to address deficiencies he observed in the system.

Supporting his comments was fellow co-chair Dellerease Allen.

“Here in The Bahamas, we have a shortage, and we would definitely want to encourage young persons to come on board.”

Training commences in July, and Allen says individuals as young as 13 years old are eligible to participate.

“We’re planning a workshop on the 25th of July, and it’s going to be right here at BTVI. We want you to come if you’re interested, and if you’re not interested, come and see what it’s all about. All persons who are tech-savvy, we have some drones, we need drone pilots, and of course, females, you can come.”

In addition to the workshop initiatives, the team intends to organize a summer camp, expressing hope of attracting between 50 and 80 participants.
