WHAT A DAY OUT IN MANDEVILLE FOR CHOICES CAREER & EDUCATION EXPO

It was a day full of energy, motivation, inspiration and great fun too for the hundreds of students from schools in the central and southern parishes in Jamaica who turned out on Tuesday April 19 for the CHOICES Career & Education Expo at the Golf View Hotel in Mandeville.

They, along with their guidance counsellors,  teachers, some principals and other school personnel, were treated to a day filled with information, insights, practical hands-on experiences, career guidance and direction to put them ont he righ track for career, education and life. They left, for the most part, having been guided onto the right path for their life.

For the teachers there was also a professional development workshop, a Leadership Training for students by the Leadership Training Institute and a special Career Key Workshop for those undecided about their career path.  On stage throughout the day talks, presentations, lively discussions and contests kept the pace moving with "Sexting", "Networking", and interview with Miss Jamaica Festival Queen 2010, the winning Xormis team from NCU; NCU communications students interviewing, recording and broadcasting, all climaxing in the selection of the Mandevillle area winner in the CHOICES Theme Song Contest to end the day.
