Open House Opens Eyes To BTVI
Posted by BTVI • Tuesday, 2009-August-18
Over two hundred persons attended an open house recruitment event held on Thursday 13, August 2009 at the British Colonial Hilton.
The substantial turnout reflects the great interest in The Bahamas Technical & Vocational Institute (BTVI) by members of the community. Participants were able to listen to the Manager/Consultant of BTVI, Dr. Iva Dahl, Faculty and Administrators, speak about what BTVI can offer its students.
The event began with educational presentations from BTVI Head of Department (HOD) for Electronics Trade, Delano Archer, as well as Grant Thornley, HOD for Construction Trade at BTVI. The presentations focused on new programmes being offered at BTVI. In addition, the entire admissions staff was on hand to answer questions and provide prospective students information on the new programmes. Those in attendance also heard from Managing Director, Jean Paul Michielsen of Bahamas Energy Solution (BES). BES is one of the most successful solar energy providers in the Bahamas. Michielsen shared his personal experiences and observations from years of working in the solar energy industry.
"The focus throughout the evening was to provide the guests with accurate information and exceptional service," Dr. Iva Dahl, said. "BTVI is going through a restructuring process and these new programmes are the results of our effort to develop strong curriculam. It was important that the prospective students left thinking that BTVI is a place they can trust to provide sound technical programmes."
The open house was an astonishing success! We were able to sign up more than 100 students for our new programmes,” said Sean Adderley, Public Relations Officer. “At the open house students were able to visit the different booths, ask questions about our new programmes, as well as register on the spot.” "The best part of the day was seeing the prospective students interact with the faculty and administrations," Adderley said. "The look of excitement on the faces of our guests was apparent and it was very satisfying to know that we were contributing to the success of the Institution."
Dr. Dahl said informational gatherings such as this are paramount to BTVI’s continued success. She commended the effort put forth by all involved.
"Open House events are an excellent time to showcase the Institute," Dr. Dahl said. "The Public Relations team did an outstanding job of marketing this event, which contributed to the large number of attendees. Plus, it is very exciting to know that the activities of the Office of Admissions are beginning to see results, as many who attended have now applied for admission. I look forward to many more successful events and seeing our enrollment increase."
