Team Cooper - Chester Cooper

I took and posted this photo in Little Exuma exactly 10 years ago. It never grows old.

My breath gets taken away by the beauty of my homeland

The future belongs to those who are prepared for it, and institutions like BTVI are helping to ensure more Bahamians have the skills, training, and opportunities they need to succeed.

Along with Parliamentary Secretary Keenan Johnson we heard firsthand about the institution's bold vision for the future and its goal of becoming a regional leader in technical and vocational education. What impressed me most was not just the ambition of the plans, but the progress already made in transforming BTVI into a first-choice option for school leavers, working professionals, and lifelong learners looking to sharpen their skills or pursue new careers.

I commend the Board, executive leadership, faculty, and staff for their vision, dedication, and hard work over the past four years. Their efforts are creating new pathways to opportunity and helping to build a stronger, more competitive Bahamas.

I look forward to returning ahead of the new academic year and seeing even more of the exciting work taking place at this outstanding institution.

Regatta in full swing!
