LT-GOVERNOR Sir Fabian Malbon gave his support to the work of the GTA University Centre at its presentation and awards ceremony.
More than 100 of its graduating students were recognised during the ceremony, with 60 of them there in person to collect their scrolls.
Sir Fabian, who presented the certificates, said it was sometimes too easy for the island’s community to forget the things it did so well.
‘I think the GTA is one of those special things that happens and in many ways we take it for granted.
‘The GTA is one of the gems in the crown of the Bailiwick.’
His comments come in the same week as the deadline for responses to the Commerce and Employment Department’s review of local work-related learning and training provision.
That review includes considering whether the £435,000 Commerce and Employment contributes to the GTA’s budget represents value for money. This year, the figure represented 35% of its total budget.
