To the many friends of the Australia-Pacific
Technical College, I would like to introduce myself. I have
taken up the newly established role of Chief Executive Officer
in the APTC. I am extremely honoured at the opportunity to be
part of the wonderful APTC family of staff and students.
The
APTC will be facing many new and exciting challenges over the
coming months as we continue on with our goal of boosting economic
growth in the Pacific by helping to develop a more competitive
regional workforce. We will also apply ourselves to assist mobility
of skilled workers between the Pacific and developed countries
through the provision of internationally recognised qualifications
and skills. In this way, our graduates can get better jobs and
careers and ultimately it is through education and training
that we all contribute to the economic and social development
of industry and community.
I
have met so many of our students and Alumni in the past few
months and the thing that stands out is their commitment and
dedication to their studies and to sharing their knowledge with
others in the workplace and community.
The
real strength of the APTC is our staff and it is through their
extensive professional experience that the APTC team can provide
high quality education and training equal to that you would
find in Australia. Our trainers and tutors are supported by
a number of work teams in our four delivery countries, Fiji,
Samoa, PNG and Vanuatu as well as our smaller countries and
it is through their amazing efforts that we are able to deliver
and support programs that industry requires.
Mr
Barry Peddle PSM
Chief Executive Officer
