“I’d describe my experience as GREAT, I got the
opportunity to participate in many events and visit
attractions. I felt comfortable around the staff which
motivated me to be more efficient when completing
tasks.” Stashauna Burnett, Hospitality Management Graduate of
Bethlehem Moravian College.
“It was a HOLISTIC experience. I basically worked in all
departments so I was exposed to the many aspects of
TPDCo. It heightened my passion for tourism and I am
excited to share my knowledge with members of my
community.”
Richard Gordon, 6th form student at St. Georges Col-
lege
“We were taken on site visits which was exciting and
educational. The staff was kind, and assistance was
provided when necessary. I would definitely describe
my experience as “EXCELLENT!” Adrian Reid, Masters in Heritage Studies student at the Uni-
versity of West Indies
Dejonique Thomas, English and Literature student at
the Mico University College
“My stay at TPDCo was indeed EDUCATIONAL. My
supervisor was the most affable person I have ever
met; she exposed me to the rich culture of Jamaica
during site visits, which deepened the love I have for
my country.
“I have been ENLIGHTENED! I visited many plac-
es that were new to me, met interesting people and
learnt more about the history of our country and how
we came to be. The staff was warm and welcoming; it
was a worthwhile stay, wish I could stay longer!”
Thank you TPDCo for having such a positive impact on
