FNU’s Career Discovery for High School Students’ team visited the prominent College in Sigatoka to educate and create awareness on the different career pathways and opportunities available at Fiji’s national university.

The 18-year-old, Year 13 student from Kulukulu in Sigatoka, Chand said that he was grateful to FNU’s team for visiting Sigatoka Methodist College to impart knowledge of the different career pathways and courses that available at the institution.

““I want to pursue MBBS at FNU; I learnt a lot from the presentations by the Fiji National University team- the presentations showed how we can enrol into these programmes for the betterment of our future,” he said.

“Career awareness is so important, especially for us in Year 13, it allows us to become knowledgeable of the courses we can take in the various fields to become breadwinners for our families.”

The 42-year-old, from Vatukarasa in Sigatoka has been teaching at Sigatoka Methodist College for the last eight years.

“I want to thank the Fiji National University committee because they are very well prepared, well-spoken, and most of their marketing strategies have and continue to have a great impact on the students; this is very much apparent in the students who are currently studying, and have graduated at FNU,” he said.

“Even though, I am not a FNU graduate, FNU has stepped up and are a great competitor to other Universities and campuses that were established here in our Pacific.”

The high school visits commenced in the Central Division on 19-30 June. Our Career Discovery team will be in the Western Division from 3-14 July, and the Northern Division from 17-28 July 2023.

Virtual sessions will be conducted for maritime schools in the first week of August.
