Chief Guest at the Tailevu North College’s Careers Expo and Korovou District Officer, Dausiga Nakaora, said he was grateful to the Ministry of Education for reviving this fair in Tailevu after a lapse of four years.

“Thank you so much for the initiative and understanding the very need for our students to map their career pathway right from early childhood to Year 13,” he said.

“Career education is training the child to use their education, skills, and knowledge to lead a productive life regardless of their situation. For example, a child returning to the village will be able to identify their God-given talent and use it to execute his dream or his goals.”

“Our little town here in Korovou offers only a handful of employment opportunities for you students to become employed in.

“Looking around, you may be able to see an abundance of land and unexplored territories that will not only be able to employ you but also make you an employer. The opportunity is here for us to grab, and in return, we can grow our little town together.
