Twenty-eight apprentices from the Fiji National University’s National Training and Productivity Centre were recruited for employment by Vatukoula Gold Mines (PTE) Limited (VGML) earlier this month.
NTPC’s National Apprenticeship and Trade Test Manager, Alvin Lal, said it was a proud moment to facilitate the recruitment as organisations were gradually getting back to post-pandemic status.
Lal said they will continue to monitor the performance of the apprentices and the recruitment is also a boost for others currently pursuing studies at FNU’s NTPC.
“It is a big achievement for NTPC after 28 apprentices were recruited by Vatukoula Gold Mines (PTE) Limited. There were also five female apprentices recruited, which shows that there is a keen interest from females in joining the trade job,” he said.
“Our discussions with VGML have been going on for some time now. We see this as a very long-term relationship, knowing the rich history of the organisation going back to when they were known as the Emperor Gold Mine.”
“This year we have had positive feedback from the industry on the recruitment of the apprentices. We are optimistic about recruiting more than 100 apprentices this year.”
VGML’s Senior Human Resources Officer, Shivika Sharma, said the agreement with FNU’s NTPC will assist in increasing productivity while ensuring it has quality tradespeople to support its core business
