The Marianas High School-Cooperative Education & Training Program’s Career Fair held yesterday at the MHS Cafeteria was an overwhelming success.
MHS teacher and program coordinator Tyce Mister described the event as “outstanding” and said he was very pleased with the turnout.
At least 45 students from the largest high school in the CNMI trooped to the cafeteria and met with the representatives of participating companies and government agencies.
“I am happy to report a 100-percent attendance [by the companies]. I know you all have very busy schedules and I commend you on your dedication in coming down to MHS,” he said in an e-mail he sent out to participating private and government agencies.
Mister said 21 groups from the government and private sectors participated in yesterday’s fair: the CNMI Public Defender, Coastal Resources Management Office, Community Guidance Center, Commonwealth Ports Authority-Administration, Delta Management dba Shell, Department of Public Health, DFS Galleria, Hard Rock Café, Herman’s Modern Bakery, and Hyatt Regency Saipan.
Other groups that attended and interviewed the students were Joeten Motors, JC Tenorio Enterprises, Joeten’s ACE Hardware, Marianas Visitor’s Authority, NMC CREES, Northern Marianas Housing Corp., Office of the Public Auditor, Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, Pacific Islands Club, Pacific Telecom Inc., Saipan Grand Hotel, and Sorensen Pacific Broadcasting.
“Thank you for your valuable time,” said Mister.
Mister earlier said the event intends to expose high school students to different career options available to them in the CNMI. He said the fair was an opportunity for both employers and students to meet each other and possibly set up an arrangement for Cooperative Training. The program started in 1971 and has produced several graduates.
