Technical Institution to Address Skills Gap: PM
The Vatukoula Gold Mine is in the process of establishing the Vatukoula Gold Mine Technical Institution.
Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama said this will give Fijians an opportunity to develop their skills and receive technical education.
Speaking in Parliament, he said the Fiji Higher Education Commission was assisting the company in establishing the technical institution.
“There are real grassroots level ways that this commission is making a daily difference for Fiji. We are also getting Nadave to be accredited,” he said.
“These are the types of initiatives that are being developed to synergise higher learning and the practical understanding of skills and knowledge.
“Equally important is our ability to address the skills gap.”
He said this was the priority of the Government, they have allocated $1.2 billion since the inception of the initiative.
