  • Careers: In Forensic Science

    A. L. Dawn French

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, May 16, 2016)
    Forensic science is the application of science to criminal and civil laws. * Though targeted at the young people of Saint Lucia this book presents career guidance information that may be used by anyone - the young and the old (in search of that second career) as well as anyone living outside of the Caribbean Island. * Too many people do not know what career path to follow; or having decided on a career are not sure on how to achieve the goal. These books target all young people: those at Secondary (high) Schools as well as those in prison, at remedial school, or drop outs. A mistake in one’s youth should not be a deterrent to anyone achieving their career goals. * The intention, as with all these books is to provide information in an easy to absorb manner. * The series speaks to the reality of funding, encourages entrepreneurship and speaks frankly to the job opportunities that exist for the chosen career. * This is an excellent resource for the youth that is worth sharing! – World Bank

  • Careers: In Forestry

    A. L. Dawn French

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, July 12, 2014)
    Many students complete their secondary schooling unsure of the career path they wish to pursue. Still very few complete post-secondary education knowing their chosen career path. Information to guide students on choosing their career paths is not readily available locally. The few career guidance showcases put on by the school system falls short of providing meaningful information for students. The importance of knowing at an early stage the pathway to a chosen career is invaluable as it saves time, worry, anxiety and financial resources. This is where Dawn French and her Careers series come in. Whether you are a parent, a student or someone looking to a new career, this series provides invaluable information on the common career pathways in Saint Lucia. The information presented is simple to understand and straight to the point. The series provides information on academic qualifications/skills requirements, educational institutions, scholarship/financial aid opportunities, an interview primer and potential employment opportunities. I encourage everyone interested in pursuing a career to get their hands on a copy of their chosen Career book. This little investment will pay off huge dividends in the long term as it will guide you in pursuing your chosen career.
