The Occasion was twofold, it was the launching of the Apprenticeship Program New Structure and the Signing of the Statement of Agreement by the Key Implementing Agencies of the Program, i.e the NUS, Samoa Qualification Authority(SQA) and MCIL.
We commend the support of the donor partners –the Governments of Australia and New Zealand and the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Employers and Industries for the continuous financial support in sponsoring and providing employment opportunities for apprentices, as well as the support and partnership of the NUS and the SQA.
