Oneca’s Accelerate Journey
For Oneca Benjamin, taking hold of the opportunity provided by AMDI through the Accelerate Programme was an easy decision. She encourages others to embrace the programme, even if it means making a few sacrifices along the way.
“Put your mind to it and time would never matter. Put your best foot forward and make the best of it, time should not stop you,” she said.
When asked what inspired her to enroll, her answer was simple yet powerful:
“It gives you the opportunity to meet your educational goals at no cost to you, and also a chance to move up in the company.”
So far, Oneca describes the programme as an “interesting” experience, one she believes is worth every effort. She strongly encourages colleagues who need to complete their CSEC Mathematics to take the leap and sign up without hesitation.
Her story serves as a reminder that growth begins the moment you decide to start, and with opportunities like this, the possibilities are endless.
Accelerate Programme
The Accelerate Programme was designed to give staff the chance to develop both academic and practical skills. It began with CSEC Mathematics and will soon expand to include other CSEC subjects, scholarships for diplomas, degrees, and practical training in areas such as forklift operation and driving, all free of cost to employees.
Employees receive:
Targeted tutoring in CSEC Maths and English
Flexible class schedules on the AMDI site to accommodate you
Exam preparation resources, including past papers and practice tests
Supportive learning environment to build confidence and academic discipline
Obtaining CSEC Passes in Maths and English
AMDI SPOTLIGHT AWARD
The AMDI Spotlight Award was established to honor employees for their hard work and commitment. This recognition occurs in two parts: employees can receive immediate acknowledgment for a specific task they've completed, or they may be selected as Employee of the Month by their supervisor or manager.
To engage the staff, a logo competition was held, and Kenesha Croker emerged as the winner. This design perfectly aligns with the vision of the Spotlight Award.
The Employee Spotlight logo embodies the spirit of excellence that drives our team forward and is a strong visual depiction of the purpose of the Spotlight award
The vibrant design of the logo reflects our seven core values. The base is gold, transitioning into a deep blue hourglassshaped body that flares out at the top. Deep blue conveys trust and professionalism while gold signifies prestige and success. Resting on this is our ANSA McAL Emblem.
