Seminar
As a pre-requisite for the completion of our Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech) the 2016/2017 Finance and Banking Seminar group is required to plan and execute several activities.
The Finance and Banking Seminar is a final year course in the School of Business Administration, geared towards preparing students for the corporate world through professional training and skills development.
The seminar hopes to raise a total of $6,000,000 to offset seminar expenses, to fund our annual conference day and assist the community through our outreach projects. All events are planned and executed by the students of the seminar under the guidance of the seminar facilitators.
Walk-a-Than
We gathered for one of, if not the most exciting event of the semester “The University of Technology Finance and Banking Seminar Walk-a-thon 2016”. This is an event for Finance students and it was held on the 26th of October at the UTECH back field.
Despite the unfavourable weather conditions, it did not dapper the spirit of the students who were all branded in the polo shirts getting ready to take on the journey.
The walk was indeed a force to be reckoned with, twelve (12) laps around the field where they will be surely walking in puddles. The journey of 12 laps begins with a single step; yes we are on our way for the first lap. How could I not mention that the likes of our very own, the one and only Mrs. Ena ClaytoDay who went off to a flying start, can she keep this up? I guess we just have to wait and see.

The large dance floor at the venue made for an ideal location for the party, allowing for all the elements to combine seamlessly for a night of fun. Many patrons and party promoters turned out in their numbers to experience what turned out to be a great party.

Corporate Development
The first thoughts that came to mind after hearing the name Jacob’s Ladder for the first time, is that winding, arduous trek to the Blue Mountain Peak. Who would put an elderly home in the hills above sea level? Little did I know that this Jacob’s Ladder is actually nestled in the quiet community of Moneaque, St. Ann.
They almost got me there..... November 12, 2016 came, and it came really fast. There was the option to take the “country bus” to our destination, but arriving in comfort was never off the table either.
The services of the Jamaica Urban Transit Company and our University bus would do just fine (ample space needed for all 87 members). The buses pulled in approximately 10:30AM not before taking in the scenery from the North Coast High Way and turning on to a dirt track with only greenery (bush) on either side.
