Just as the school has produced top students at the Grade Six level and at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) so too has the school been able to produce top regional students through the NEBOSH International Courses.
“The New Guyana School is here to produce the best,” Welch added.
Attending the event as the Guest Speaker was Senior Petroleum Coordinator Bobby Gossai, Jr..
He delivered the feature address and noted that training like the ones offered in Human Resource and Logistics and Supply Chain Management was “part of a new era of benefits to the economy and personally.”
He said that even as attention is placed on oil and gas, local professionals must not forget the other areas of the economy that need services and skilled labour.
“I commend the New Guyana School and its partners for taking the initiative,” he added.
Gossai said even as private institutions train people to work onshore and offshore, the government is also providing the enabling environment for this training to occur.
He said what is needed now is a “practical application of what is learned” to allow “communities and people to advance with the country.”
