What is Focus?
FOCUS is a program of the Lyford Cay Foundation. It is a college readiness and access program. We support our students and their families on a journey to be prepared for and to access post-secondary education.
Overview
FOCUS is made possible by a talented group of team leaders and interns. Their passion and commitment make FOCUS a well-loved programme.
Each year, we contract up to 35 part-time staff. Opportunities are offered on a competitive basis at the beginning of each year. Invitations to join the team are made on merit, and assessment of those who are best suited to our culture – a high performing and highly collaborative environment.
We have a strong recruitment and partnership relationship with University of The Bahamas, however the FOCUS internship opportunity is not limited to only UB students.
