BIT BV Centre exhibition showcases trainee skills, creativity

Guided by the inspiring theme, “Every expert was once a beginner. Embrace the journey,” the Board of Industrial Training (BIT) Beterverwagting (BV) Centre held its Final Exhibition last Wednesday, on the tarmac of the Beterverwagting Practical Instructional Centre. The exhibition featured a wide array of trainee projects from various programmes offered at the centre, including Furniture Making, Electrical Installation, Plumbing, Agro-Processing, Commercial Food Preparation, and Information Technology.

Highlights included cocktails, wines, other agro-processed products, and finely crafted furniture pieces.
Trainees also demonstrated hospitality and event preparation skills, such as napkin folding, menu design, bed-making, table settings, and decorations, reflecting the diverse competencies developed during their training. Soon, these trainees will officially receive their certificates, marking a significant milestone and the start of a new chapter where they will apply their skills to create opportunities for themselves and contribute meaningfully to their communities. The event brought together the BIT leadership team, Presidential Advisor, Labour and Manpower Planning, Joseph Hamilton; Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Richard Maughn; Senior Monitoring, Evaluation and Research Officer, Nateica Garraway; Monitoring, Evaluation and Research Officer, Marcel Watson; and Technical Officer, Quinola Legall, alongside staff and trainees to celebrate the achievements of the graduating class.
