May 24, 2021 Over 3000 third-form students are expected to participate in the Barbados Association of Guidance Counsellors’ first ever virtual National Career Showcase. The two-day annual showcase is being held online from May 26 – 27 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. President of the association, Dr Patricia Welch told Barbados TODAY this year’s event, which is in its 14th year, had to be scaled down because of the limitations of hosting it online. She said while the showcase was usually open from third to sixth formers, those large numbers could not be facilitated in the virtual format. Dr Welch revealed that students from 23 secondary schools and two private schools were expected to attend the showcase.
