PowerGen powers up Vacation Training Programme

“We are convinced that there is no better way to prepare a nation for the challenges of the future than by developing the potential of its young people,” said PowerGen’s Chief Executive Officer, Garth Ghatoor, as he welcomed vacation trainees to PowerGen’s 2003 Vacation Training Programme. Under this Programme, PowerGen will provide vacation training in its various departments for 80 students during the period June 2, to August 22, 2003. Some 40 of the students are undergraduate students pursuing degree courses at the UWI and other tertiary level institutions, while the other 40 are students attending Technical and ‘A’ Level programm-es.

Hyacinth Guy, PowerGen’s Director of Human Resources, said the programme introduced “our young people to the world of work in a quality-driven electricity company. We also get to meet the new talent of the country and play a part in developing our nation’s future.” The provision of vacation training for the young people of the nation is one of many initiatives undertaken by PowerGen in keeping with its corporate philosophy of youth development through education and sport.
