Well, after a long spell we are active, but this time really active and going all the way. Where is all the way? to the ribbon cutting, we are going to open a technical school in Bermuda and we are going to ensure our youth can get an education they understand and that will ensure they can become the future of Bermuda with confidence. Enough of the guns and violence, enough of the drop-outs and underachievers because they were unable to find what they were looking for in the public education system, we are going to make it happen for our youth especially the boys.
We are going to need all the help we can get and if YOU feel you have something to offer call us or e-mail us 334-8627 or bdaboil@ibl.bm or bdatechhs@gmail.com
We will be awaiting your call or e-mail, our rather small, but determined group is about to expand and we have some serious work to do in raising the funds for the most important proposal to hit Bermuda in fifty years. Why? because it will affect every segment of the community, country and Island in one way or another. Let me explain:
We will give our young people the foundation of a technical education, the basic theory whilst in high school, and we will offer them the means to progress in the evenings to advance to the next level until fully qualified.
How does this affect every segment of Bermudian life? Well for a start it will set a standard of basic technical education from which employers can train technicians, the employers will have less and less reliance upon guest workers, business owners will enjoy a better quality of work from home grown technicians with soft skills and qualifications, home owners will be able to rely on the quality of work from home grown technicians, the technical workforce will gradually become what it was in the days when apprentices were trained by the Navy in the Dockyard. Why is this important? because our boys have lost confidence in our society and created one of their own, one filled with gangs, violence and drugs, and it is being asked why? I think that is clear we have neglected them!!!
Now we are attempting to right the wrong and we will with your help, so come and join us and find out more about our proposal and intentions.
This journey will be a good one, we intend that the school will be in "trust" for future generations to enjoy so that NO-ONE will be able to close it down, and technical education will thrive once again in Bermuda.
Are you with us? then call us and lend us your support in getting this very important project into a reality by March 2012 - yes March 2012.
