On Monday, a group of select juniors and seniors from three New Providence high schools will embark upon the beginning of their Technical & Vocational career. Prior to the Strategic Technical Educational Preparation (S.T.E.P), students and parents from Government High School, C.I. Gibson and C.R. Walker attended an orientation. At the meeting, students received information on the Programme of Studies and parents had the opportunity to ask questions and make connections between the S.T.E.P Program and the Institute's role in preparing our students for the changing workplace.

I am really excited about this program. We have tremendous support from parents and BTVI administration to provide the students with a real learning challenge, as they engage in doing technical work, said Godfrey Mackey, Prinicpal at Government High School.

This program is an important step for our students toward increasing the interest and understanding of technical training for those who have not yet realized their potential for academic success.

The Program provides an effective framework to strengthen academic performance by providing the practical and theoretical know-how of Masonry, Carpentry Air Condition, Refrigeration and Drywall Installation. Students will attend classes three times a week here at the Campus.

The S.T.E.P Program's main objectives are to: Strengthen the academic and technical skills of its participants; improve student motivation and ability to attain a technical degree; and increase student awareness of entry-level qualifications for skilled workers.
