Sandals Grande Antigua hosted an educational fair, designed to provide its staff
members with the various training opportunities that are available for those
wishing to continue personal and professional development.
The event was the second installment of what the resort dubbed Edu-Fair
(Educational Fair) which was launched by Sandal’s Learning and Development
Manager, Carlene Spencer, to assist team members with finding the appropriate
courses and programmes to aid in their professional development. “Team members
would always inquire where they can access training or classes in various
disciplines, so we felt it was wise to bring the institutions together, so team
members can have the opportunity to explore the offerings from different
educational institutions based on their needs,” Spencer added.
Several tertiary education institutions including the University of the West Indies
Five Islands Campus, Antigua and Barbuda Hospitality Training Institute, Antigua
and Barbuda Institute of Continuing Education, and the National Sailing Academy
were a part of the one-day event held earlier this month.
Community First Cooperative Credit Union along with the Board of Education
were also on hand to provide team members with financial support information.
