Summary
Barbados’ top secondary students are stepping into the real world—sixteen schools sent their brightest minds through a six-month PTFTC-TCL program designed to turn academic talent into workplace readiness. Now, they’re diving into month-long internships with private companies, armed with professional etiquette, communication skills, and a proactive mindset. After orientation, they learned employers care about punctuality, dress, and attitude—not just grades. This 10-year initiative bridges the gap between classroom brilliance and job market success, with past grads landing permanent roles—and others learning the hard way. The message? Take initiative, ask questions, and treat this like your future career. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
