Fijians are being urged to take advantage of the National Job Fair which is being held at the FMF Gymnasium in Suva.

Employment Minister, Parveen Kumar says this is being held to inform young people about the clear pathway from education to productive employment.

Kumar says the chance for job seekers to interact directly with potential employers is an opportunity that should not be missed.

“Such engagements will spearhead the smooth transition of school leavers and graduates from higher education into the world of work. Into the aspiration of the Fijian Government into a world of decent jobs and employment growth.”

Kumar says those attending the event will be empowered with new knowledge and skills that will enable them to be easily absorbed into the workforce.

The country’s first ever job fair is a one stop destination for Fijians seeking employment.

Today is the last day of the job fair which will run from 8am to 5pm.
