As CedarBridge Academy students prepare to graduate tomorrow [June 28], earlier this month, seventeen students from the school ranging from S2 – S4 were awarded certificates to mark their achievement of concluding the Professional-Student Relationship Programme [PSRP].

On hand to make the presentations were the Deputy Premier and Minister of Home Affairs Walter Roban and the Minister of Labour, Community Affairs, and Sports Lovitta Foggo.

Led by the Office of Project Management and Procurement, the Professional-Student Relationship Programme is a partnership initiative with the Department of Workforce Development, the Ministry of Public Works, the Department of Planning and CedarBridge Academy.

This is the second year of the programme, which affords young people at the senior school level the opportunity to receive hands-on architecture, engineering, contracting and construction training.

Two students who said they “benefitted greatly” from the training programme included, Cedarbridge Academy Head Boy Jaire Lawrence Salaam and Lilanna Moniz.

Jaire said, “I was able to view a lot of careers through this programme. We were able to gain knowledge about various careers involved in construction. Through this programme I realized my love for civil engineering and will be pursuing this field of study at Dalhousie University.”

Liliana said, “It opened my eyes about what I actually want to do. Through this programme I was able to decide that I want to pursue interior architecture and have already been accepted to a university.”
