The Minister was delighted to be part of the celebrations, encouraged graduates to continue applying their skills and knowledge in their workplaces.

He added that there were many employees at local hotels and lodges who need to seek further training in Hospitality, especially with the influx of tourists from Australia, America, and Europe.

He also thanked APTC for providing training for the sector.

APTC representative, Ms Eileen Aukitino said the event was an overall success and the Minister was very happy to see APTC on Kiritimati Island for recruitments.
