The assignment offers the opportunity to travel across Fiji, support grassroots education, and contribute to building a more skilled and resilient workforce.
Our Partner Organisation - Pacific Polytech is a not-for-profit technical training institution in Fiji, established in 2021 to address the gap left by the closure of the Technical Colleges of Fiji.
It provides accessible Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to students, particularly school dropouts, in both urban and rural areas.
With campuses across Fiji and expansion plans underway, Pacific Polytech equips students with essential skills and qualifications for better employment opportunities.
Committed to strengthening Fiji's workforce, the organisation plays a vital role in supporting economic development by addressing the national skills shortage in key industries like manufacturing, construction, and services.

Fijian indigenous society is very communal, with great importance attached to the family unit, the village, and the vanua (land).
With the introduction of traditions such as Indian and Chinese and significant influences from Europe and Fiji's Pacific neighbours, particularly Tonga and Samoa, these various cultures have come together to create a multicultural national identity for Fiji.
