Students Graduate From New England Institute
The Minister of Home Affairs Patricia Gordon-Pamplin today offered congratulations to the six Bermudian students who recently graduated from the New England Institute of Technology [NEIT] and received funding from the Department of Workforce Development.
Barak Bremar, Damani Edwards, Jordan Lawrence, Ashanti Musson-Gibbons, Keri Brangman and Jah-Kaye Stewart graduated with Associate in Science and Bachelor of Science Degrees in various courses – from Cyber Security Technology, Information Technology, Surgical Technology, Mechanical Engineering, among many others.
These students received sponsorship from the Department of Workforce Development as well as financial awards from NEIT.
The funding was made possible through a Memorandum of Understanding [MOU] signed between NEIT and the Department of Workforce Development which stipulates that both organizations cooperate in education and training initiatives which will further develop the skilled labour force of Bermuda through developing and accessing educational programs.

The Department funded the students in the amount of $10,000 per year, additionally, these students receive $5000 from NEIT making their total funding $15,000 per year.
“On behalf of the Department, I wish to thank NEIT for working with us for the betterment of Bermuda’s workforce. I wish to congratulate all the graduates and wish them continued success as they continue their studies or work locally in their respective field. I encourage students who are interested in this opportunity to visit Workforce Development and seek information from a Training and Assessment Officer.”
