Mind Builders High School Lagos has held the maiden edition of a presentation ceremony in commemoration of its Professional Apprenticeship Scheme (PAS) programme.

The ceremony showcased the remarkable achievements of the former Senior Secondary 2 (SS2) students of the school, who are currently in SS3.

At the ceremony, which was held at the school’s hall, the trained students presented some of the skills and knowledge they gained while on the scheme.

According to the principal of the school, Prince Adekunle Agbelu, the programme is a testament of innovation, creativity and aspiration of bright future for the students.

During the apprenticeship, each student was assigned a teacher, who mentored their performance during training.

The students acquired knowledge on international relations, medicine, civil engineering, accountancy, law, data science, piloting, among other disciplines.This is set to take place every August.

Some of the organisations visited by the students during the training were Falana and Falana chambers, New Horizons System Solution Limited, Elbuns Engineering Construction Limited, Brooks and Blake, Gbenga Badejo and Co, Reddington Hospital and Odegene Air Shuttle Services (OAS) Limited (Piloting).

The school’s Education Director, Mrs. Bola Falore, noted that the initiative aligns with the school’s vision of nurturing confident, creative and competent young leaders, who are ready to contribute meaningfully to the society.

“This initiative is particularly close to our hearts. Today, as our SS3 students present the learning and experiences from the PAS programme that they went on at the end of their SS2, last year, we are witnessing the fruits of this vision come to life.

“The PAS is a testament to this commitment, offering our students a platform to explore their future interests, acquire practical skills and gain valuable real world experiences,” she stated.

Former Commissioner for Education in Lagos State and the chairperson of the event, Mrs. Folashade Adefisayo, stressed that programme like this would transform the strength of secondary education and career choice.

She added that the value is enormous for the students of the school and the community at large.

“Secondary school experience should not be about the academics alone. This is because the secondary school is a stage where a child is thinking about his future, that is, the kind of friends they need, what to do, their purpose in life, among others. Experience like this can only expose them to more than what they are yet to uncover,” she said.

The Managing Director, TVC Entertainment, Mrs. Morayo Afolabi-Brown, noted that the programme enables young ones diversify their thinking and skills.

“This initiative is very mindful and I believe that a lot of them appreciate this and are thankful for the extra skill aside from the academics that they have already. Each student should have their passion learning a skill,” she noted.

She also stressed that skill acquisition should be taught at early stage of life.
