Basseterre: St. Kitts, Monday, November 11, 2024: There was a shift in focus for students of
both the Automative and Cosmetology Divisions at the Advanced Vocational Education Center

Mrs. Samantha Bloice Standards and Promotion Officer in the SKNTVETC gave remarks. “On
behalf of the TVET Secretariat in partnership with AVEC, I am thrilled to welcome you all to
our Clinic Day where we proudly showcase the talents of our students in both Cosmetology and
Motor Vehicle programs. Today, you’ll witness firsthand the skill and dedication of our students
as they demonstrate their expertise in providing you with excellent service”.
Providing an overview of what to expect throughout the day, Mrs. Bloice expressed “In our
Cosmetology clinic, you’ll experience professional manicures, pedicures, shampoos, and facials
all provided by our talented students under the guidance of our experienced instructor, Ms. Petra
Vonder-Newton. In our Motor Vehicle clinic, you’ll have the chance to see the latest in
automotive repair, diagnostics, and maintenance. Our students are trained to tackle everything
from routine service to more complex issues, and they’re ready to show you the knowledge and
