Four peo­ple have be­come the lat­est grad­uands of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Unit Trust Cor­po­ra­tion’s Ca­reer Break­thrU pro­gramme.

Kai Em­manuel, Keisha Alexan­der, Nicole Lewis and Syn­dii Maxime were the suc­cess­ful par­tic­i­pants in the fifth co­hort of the pro­gramme, which is de­signed to pro­vide team mem­bers with an op­por­tu­ni­ty to ex­plore dif­fer­ent ca­reer as­pi­ra­tions, as well as hone new skills that can in­crease their po­ten­tial for ca­reer mo­bil­i­ty.

Par­tic­i­pants spent one year in dif­fer­ent de­part­ments of in­ter­est while op­er­at­ing at a high­er lev­el of re­spon­si­bil­i­ty on projects and as­sign­ments.

Em­manuel, Alexan­der, Lewis and Maxime have been as­signed to ar­eas of Dig­i­tal Mar­ket­ing, Trust Ser­vices, Ad­vi­so­ry Ser­vices and Fa­cil­i­ties Man­age­ment re­spec­tive­ly.

They were ho­n­oured dur­ing a spe­cial grad­u­a­tion cer­e­mo­ny last week.

“The Ca­reer Break­thrU pro­gramme gave me a fan­tas­tic op­por­tu­ni­ty to learn more about the Cor­po­ra­tion’s busi­ness op­er­a­tions. My ca­pa­bil­i­ties and ex­per­tise have grown tremen­dous­ly through the ex­po­sure and prac­ti­cal work ex­pe­ri­ence. I feel con­fi­dent and poised to add even greater val­ue to the Cor­po­ra­tion’s achieve­ment of its strate­gic goals and ob­jec­tives,” Alexan­der said.

UTC’s Head of Hu­man Re­sources, Sonya Le Maître, called on the grad­u­ates to, “pause to recog­nise what has shaped you, the lessons learned, and skills ac­quired, to be able to har­ness it all to­ward con­tin­u­ing to ful­fil your ul­ti­mate pur­pose.”

“Your pur­pose is con­nect­ed to that is­sue or cause you care for and are most pas­sion­ate about. Let’s take the op­por­tu­ni­ty to recom­mit to pur­pose­ful lives and en­joy­ing the jour­ney,” Le Maître added.
