Department of Workforce Development 2020 Scholarship Recipients

Department of Workforce Development 2020 Scholarship Recipients

At a brief ceremony held yesterday, the Minister of Labour, the Hon. Jason Hayward, JP, MP, presented scholarship awards to ten Department of Workforce Development 2020 scholarship recipients.
This year’s recipients are furthering their studies in fields of environmental science, business, dentistry, electrical engineering, biology, and radiology. It must be noted that scholarships are contingent upon persons meeting the minimum GPA requirements of 2.67 locally and 2.7 for overseas (B- equivalent) per term/semester.

Minister Hayward congratulated all the recipients and said, “This Government is helping to educate the next generation of students to become leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs in the fields of technology, business, health-care, and engineering. All of you are studying in areas and occupations where Bermudians are under-represented in our home country. And the need to have Bermudians who are trained and highly qualified is absolutely necessary.”

“You have the opportunity to make your mark on the world stage and here locally in Bermuda. You, students, are the future. I expect each one of you to be successful in your chosen field of study. You have the intellectual capital needed to succeed. Add to that: intelligence, the development of your character, values, work ethic, and personal resilience to ensure that you have a successful tomorrow.”

“Once you have completed your studies and earned your degree, I encourage you to return and give back to our community.”
