The Employment Ministry has signed a memorandum of understanding with the ANZ Bank which allows the bank to use the ministry’s database to recruit Fijian employees.

Minister Semi Koroilavesau says this latest agreement will allow the bank to tap into data collected by the National Employment Centre (NEC) to select young and eager youths looking for employment.

ANZ chief executive Vishnu Mohan says this is a valuable opportunity for unemployed youth to join the Bank.

The Bank currently employs 700 people.
