The Minister for Education, Honourable Aseri Radrodro, today officiated the handover of $9,895 worth of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) equipment to CMF College.

The new equipment includes a fridge, a 4-burner gas stove with oven, a stainless steel worktable, and other essential tools.

These resources will directly benefit 14 Hospitality students and 30 Automotive students by enhancing their practical training experience.

In his address, Hon. Radrodro emphasised that the support goes beyond just the provision of equipment—it is about giving students greater opportunities to learn, grow, and prepare for future careers.

He highlighted the rapid growth of Fiji’s hospitality and tourism sector and said that the right training will enable students to take full advantage of job opportunities in the industry.

The Minister also acknowledged the dedication of teachers and encouraged students to maximise the use of the new resources provided to them.

This initiative is part of the Coalition Government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen TVET programs across the country and equip young Fijians with the skills they need to thrive.
