TSLS allows sponsored students to work on part time basis

The Tertiary Scholarship and Loans Service sponsored students may work on a part-time basis for a maximum of 20 hours per week.

TSLS says this provision is in line with TSLS Employer Connect Framework launched in June by the Minister of Employment Agni Deo Singh.

They say this is an option but not mandatory and students who wish to work part time must seek approval from TSLS.

TSLS CEO Dr. Hasmukh Lal highlighted that the initiative would ensure that TSLS sponsored students gain valuable work experience and contribute to Fiji’s workforce needs.

Dr. Lal says more employers are showing interest in getting sponsored students to mitigate labour shortages.

The application for part time employment approval form is available on TSLS website and social media pages.
