The St. Christopher Air & Sea Ports Authority (SCASPA) hosted a career day for Third Form students at Basseterre High School, introducing them to the range of employment opportunities within the organisation.
Marine Senior Pilot Kyran Pereira and Joy Richardson, Senior Operations Officer within Airport Operations, led the event. Representing SCASPA, they shared their professional experiences and explained the responsibilities, qualifications and skills needed to pursue careers in their respective departments, the authority said on Thursday.
Officials highlighted the importance of helping young people understand the career paths available to them. SCASPA has been engaging with schools and students across the island to raise awareness of opportunities within the organisation.
Interactive sessions encouraged students to explore their interests, ask questions and consider SCASPA as a potential future employer. Students who answered questions correctly received tokens of appreciation.
The authority also shared photographs from the students’ career day experience. Discussions covered aviation and maritime operations, demonstrating the variety of roles available at SCASPA and encouraging students to see how their future careers could contribute to the federation’s development.
“As we continue to build a competitive, sustainable, future-ready Federation, initiatives like these play an important role in preparing our greatest asset, our people, to become the skilled professionals and leaders of tomorrow. Today’s students could be tomorrow’s SCASPA professionals,” the release stated.
