12 graduate from supervisory management course

The Guyana Learning Institute (GLI) on Saturday hosted a graduation ceremony which saw its sixth batch of students graduating from the supervisory management course.
The GLI was first conceptualised in 2015 and went on to commence its first set of classes in 2016. The institute has grown from offering pre- Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) classes to offering a number of adult learning courses such as supervisory management, psychology and social work. The courses are certified. The institution is spearheaded by a number of local educators and lecturers, with the Chairman of the Board being Professor James Rose.
Saturday’s ceremony saw 12 students graduating from the supervisory management course, which commenced on September 11, 2017. The four-month course contained 10 modules of practical and theory work. Giving an overview of the course, facilitator Jennifer Singh highlighted that the course focuses on the best practices of and challenges that someone in a supervisory position would experience in the workplace.
Former Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University of Guyana, Tota Mangar, served as guest speaker; he first congratulated the students on their efforts of enduring the rigorous course. “Education is an ongoing process and a lifelong one at that,” Mangar noted. He went on to urge the students to consider furthering their studies at Critchlow Labour College, Technical Institutes or even the University.
Valedictorian Nazir Khan spoke on behalf of his graduating colleagues, thanking the lecturers for the work and effort they invested. Khan expressed that the course taught him to embrace new roles and experiences and how to better manage the work force. He concluded that the course was a very rewarding one.
The GLI will be continuing its work with two more courses – Introduction to Social Work, which commences next Tuesday and Introduction to Psychology, which begins on February 27.
