Director
David Iro Fulaga said the company will be carrying out a trade program for trade
graduates of the Solomon Island College of High Education (SICHE) and Rural
Training Centres (RTC) in the country.
“This
programe will introduce to those who learn trade skills so that they can put to
practical what they learned,” Mr Iro said.
He said the
initiative has been submitted to the Ministry of Commerce last year and the
ministry is prepared to assist.
“This
initiative’s main objective is to create an opportunity for those who have
skills but could not put it to use.
“Trades
resources that we would be using are supplied by an Australian group of
volunteers.
“We have
received some trade tools last year through a friendly network between me and
them.
“A second
shipment should arrive sometimes this month,” he said.
Mr Iro said
students who want work experience or attachment work in this particular program
will be given an opportunity.
“I would
like to assure trade people with the skill will be outlining who have no opportunity,
will have the chance to work to gain experience.”
He said the
program was initiated after witnessing the many invaluable skills wasted due to
no job opportunities.
“We
therefore will give ideas for people to start working on their own.”
The program will start next month.
