Una visión que surgió hace diez años del Viceprimer Ministro y Miembro del Parlamento por Exuma, el Honorable I. Chester Cooper, se hizo realidad hoy con la inauguración oficial del Campus de Exuma del Instituto Técnico y Vocacional de las Bahamas (BTVI), recientemente renovado.

Durante la ceremonia, denominada "¡BTVI Fuerte!", el Viceprimer Ministro Cooper reiteró una frase de su madre: "Te pueden despedir de un trabajo, pero no de un oficio". Con esta premisa, el Viceprimer Ministro declaró que la inauguración oficial del campus representa un "cambio transformador para Exuma y sus cayos".

"A medida que la economía de Exuma se expande, se necesitan trabajadores calificados", afirmó.

"Esto contribuirá significativamente a nuestro progreso".
