Good news as Fijians will soon be able to go and work in Australia under the Seasonal Worker Program.
Minister for Employment, Productivity and Industrial Relations, Jioji Konrote and Australias Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Trade and Investment, Steve Ciobo today signed a Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the scheme.
Konrote said the selection process and procedures will be stringent to ensure the workers that are selected are going to do a good job in Australia.
Ciobo said the seasonal workers will also have the opportunity to learn new skills in Australia which can enhance their opportunities and job prospects in Fiji.
Cioba also believes Fiji's strong economic growth will be boosted further by stability and confidence after last year's elections.
He said the Australian government is working with the government of Fiji to build a more dynamic, forward looking and productive relationship.
