Employers have been told to inform the Education Ministry about what they need from Fiji’s labour market.
Education Minister Doctor Mahendra Reddy says employers should give them an estimate of the type of jobs they need from those that are enrolled in Technical Colleges.
Reddy was responding to a statement by the Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation which called on schools, tertiary education providers and the technical and vocational education sector to relook at their training models to ensure that they are meeting Fiji’s labour market.
The CEO of the Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation, Nesbitt Hazelman had told Fijivillage that there is an oversupply for certain jobs in the country.
He said that people with a diploma in accounting were applying to be a receptionist.
