The Tourism Authority of Kiribati (TAK) conducted a career talk program to four senior secondary schools in South Tarawa, King George V & EBS, Sacred Heart High School, Saint Louis High School and William Goward Memorial College.
There are seven senior secondary schools in total, however only four schools granted our request, the remaining three could not be visited due to their busy schedule, with preparations before the South Pacific Form Seven Examination.
The primary objective was to introduce students to the world of tourism and the number of career opportunities it offers as they prepare for their university journeys.
The program placed a strong emphasis on the significance of tourism as both an industry and a field of study. It covered various areas within the sector, including hospitality, travel management, ecotourism, and cultural preservation, providing students with a comprehensive overview of the diverse opportunities within the tourism industry.
One of the teachers at Saint Louis High School who also attended the career talk said that he found this program very useful for the students as it will help them recognize how important tourism is and the number of opportunities available in this industry.
TAK acknowledges the ongoing support to all faith-based school principals in endorsing TAK’s tourism career talk outreach.
