Description
The Department of Community and Cultural Affairs welcomes

younger generation of tradition-bearers in Bermuda. The programme
pairs a tradition-bearer with an interested apprentice for an 80-hour
apprenticeship beginning September 2010 and concluding no later
than March 2011.
*Rigging and Sailmaking with Mr. Steve Hollis
*Uses of Medicinal Botanicals (Local Plants) with Dr. Kuni Frith-Black
*Goat Dairy Farming (Animal Husbandry) with Mr. Gerry Wilmot

• Indication of which apprenticeship interests you
• Reasons for interest in the programme
• Any relevant experience
• Name and contact information of two character references who

The successful apprentice should exhibit openness and
respect for non-traditional learning environments and older
people; and a passion for Bermuda’s traditions and heritage.
