Thirty-one new Fijian workers selected to work under the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility, have been reminded that a team from the Ministry of Employment is on standby to always assist them.

Permanent Secretary, Maritino Nemani urged these workers during their Pre Departure Briefing that they should not remain silent and must reach out if they need help.

Nemani also encouraged these workers to perform to the best of their abilities, be disciplined, and focus on their goals and aspirations.

The Ministry conducted a one week pre departure training for these workers and also gave them a Handbook as a guide whenever they face challenges.
