This event seems to get better and better each year, and it is great that we can work with the business community and other stakeholders to inspire our young people."

Miss Teen Cayman and The Ministry of Education Scholarship Secretariat joined forces to encourage prospective scholars.

The career fair was the culmination of the school's career week, which began on Monday (8 February) with daily assemblies featuring John Gray alumni and successful local business people who inspired the Year 11 audience. More than one hundred and sixty students also participated in mock interviews with some of the biggest employers on island throughout the week. One student, Jhadari Lumley was praised by her interviewer Ms. Charlene Howell-Litchmore, as being ‘world-class’ and was immediately referred to Chief Officer Mrs. Gloria McField Nixon as a future intern with the Civil Service.
