Bishop’s High students during the visit on Friday.
Society Day.
The company hosted 20 tech students from the Bishop’s High School (BHS).

According to GTT, Senior Engineer, Floyd Rodney; and Network Technician, Carl De Souza, facilitated this.
Chief Executive Officer at GTT, Justin Nedd said: “It is important to inspire future generations and mold their technical skills to contribute to the development of Guyana, it is our expectation that hosting students like you would kindle your interest in the technology sector.”
According to GTT, the aspiring engineers lauded the company on the opportunity to engage in the walkthrough citing how informational it was.
Michelle Shivcharran was given special recognition by the company for being the only female in the tech stream at the Bishops High School. The students were quizzed on what they would have learnt and Omkar Persaud won for himself a cellular phone.
Accompanying the students were Ms. Williams, a Math Teacher and Sir Blyden, the Technical Drawing Teacher.
GTT said that over the years, it has contributed to bridging the standardization gap through the deployment of many new and improved services.
The company, earlier this year, ventured into several new initiatives which comprised of a paperless billing system which supports the Green initiative, as well as the enhanced use of technology through the use of electronic payment systems like Mobile Money Guyana (MMG) and the MyGTT App.
