JA Success Skills in One Day Rodrigues Island

JA Success Skills, part of the Barclays Bank initiative in Rodrigues, was held for the first time in Rodrigues on Saturday the 20^th February 2016. The venue was the Auditorium of the Human Resource Centre of Malabar. 70 students from several colleges of the island were present for this workshop on the World of Work.

Those present were first introduced to the work-readiness skills, through various activities.  They were then given tips on CV and Cover Letter writing before some of them took part in Mock Interviews.

For Alexia L’Eveillé, Accounting student at Rodrigues College, “I am currently in my last year of Secondary level education, and I felt totally lost about what I should do next”. She adds “the program was very interesting and it gave me a “starting point” for my career”.

5 local staffs of Barclays Bank were present for the workshop and were able to share their own career experiences. All participants received a JA Success Skills Certificate of Participation at the end of the Work-Shop.
