Taole Pasepa has secured a four-year con­tract to work in Australia under the Pa­cific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme.

She was excited to be joining her husband who had left for work in Australia in April last year

The opportunity, she said, was a blessing for her and her family.

For a brighter future, she would have to leave her five-year-old daughter, Feicinia Ofakiloloma behind.

“My daughter now knows that what we are doing is all for her. My husband left last year also with the same purpose,” Ms Pasepa said.

“The PALM scheme has allowed me to have a peace of mind for the future that my family will have; a secure job means building a better future for our family.”

Ms Pasepa commended the selection team for al­lowing women to also have a fair chance of em­ployment.

Chances, she said, were quite difficult to have in some instances.

“My daughter’s education is now secured; a bet­ter standard of living is at the forefront of our am­bition,” she said.

“The opportunity presented is a blessing, I will work hard and provide for my families back here in Fiji.”

She encouraged other females to pursue employ­ment opportunities that were presented with.
