WRW is a new Approved Employer (AE) and the first PLS employer to visit our shores and to recruit Fijians in 2022.
Mr Cawaru, on behalf of the Fijian Government, thanked the employer for
their commitment and for opting to recruit Fijians this new year for
employment opportunities in Australia.
“The new employer is
here in Fiji to interview NEC registered clients and to recruit 65
Fijians to work in the meat industry in Victoria, Australia,” said Mr
Cawaru.
The WRW team commended the good turn-out during the
interview and the commitment of the Fijian Government, through the
Employment Ministry, for the well-coordinated administrative work and
COVID-safe protocols implemented during the interviewing of potential
candidates.
Mr Cawaru emphasised that it is evident that
Fijians looked forward to this great opportunity since most of them were
affected by the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I
am honoured and grateful for your commitment to visit Fiji following the
reopening of our borders last month and to recruit from Fiji, including
the commitment to share future plans to recruit another 200 Fijians
this year. Also, we have confidence that this relationship will continue
in years ahead as we jointly facilitate the need of both the Australian
and Fijian Governments under the labour mobility schemes.”
The
Permanent Secretary for Employment wishes to advise and remind
potential Fijian workers to strictly observe the COVID-19 safety
protocols and minimise social gatherings as they await mobilisation, and
to avoid any disruptions as they prepare for their departure once
selected.
Furthermore, Mr Cawaru reminded all interested
Fijians for overseas employment opportunities to be fully vaccinated
before they visit any NEC office for registration.
