The event had a powerful impact on Nortel LearniT Ambassadors and school administrators, too! Hector Rosado, a Nortel Customer Service Account Manager for C&W/TSTT Caribbean Operations said "I received one question, that really made me think. One young man, asked me, "Had you ever thought about dropping out?". This reminded me of all the challenges I faced at his age and during my high school years. I wondered what difficulties this new generation will face and if we are ready or equipped to deal with their difficulties."

From GMS Principal Teresa Faucette: "This forum allowed our students to hear career advice from presenters. It was great for our students to interact with these diverse professionals.  Our students appreciated their candidness with past struggles, challenges and successes. One of the most beneficial outcomes of this forum was the realization that students do not have to be certain about a career path at this point."

GMS Assistant Principal Ronald L. Villines, Jr. said,  "The new partnership with Nortel LearniT has provided the opportunity to have real world experiences and career advice brought into the educational environment.  As our students transition into high school, it has been beneficial for students to hear how to set goals and develop a path to achieve their goals.  Our students left the session with valuable information that will hopefully lead to successful futures."
