Marshall Island delegation visits FNU

The Fiji National University is working with the College of Marshall Islands to explore potential areas of collaboration in vocational and skills training areas.

A three-member delegation from CMI is currently on a weeklong visit to FNU holding discussions and visiting campuses.

CMI Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, Dr Elizabeth Switaj says the visit is part of their mission, which is to provide access to quality educational services to the Marshallese people.

Switaj adds they will also explore potential articulation agreements between CMI and FNU in nursing, medical services, technical and vocational skills training, and business studies.

FNU currently educates a number of Marshallese health professionals through connections with the Ministry of Health.

In addition, the team will look at the potential for collaboration in agriculture and aquaculture research that will open up additional funding sources.
