Bula! I am pleased that you are considering this important senior management role at Fiji National University (FNU). FNU is a young and dynamic university, with deep roots that reach back to the 19th Century. Although the university was only formed in 2010, its constituent colleges date back to 1885, when Suva Medical School was established. Today FNU is a ‘dual sector’ university, offering technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and higher education, from certificates to doctorates. With six campuses in Suva, and one each in Nadi, Lautoka, Ba and Labasa, FNU provides nationwide access to tertiary education to over 26,000 students each year. Uniquely, FNU is also home to the National Training and Productivity Centre, which provides short course training to working students and Fiji Maritime Academic, which trains the nation’s ship captains and navigators.FNU has a clear vision to provide education and training which is aimed at employability – either to ensure that new graduates are highly employable, or to assist those already in work to advance their careers. All our colleges have strong vocational roots. FNU trains the nation’s doctors, dentists and nurses, its accountants and managers, its teachers, its engineers, mechanics and technicians, its veterinarians and agronomists. It is vital that, as the country’s national university, FNU’s programmes are co-designed with employers to meet their needs and underpinned by relevant and impactful research which aligns with our national priorities.
