Better knowledge for women in business

Well the governments of the south sea islands seem to be suggestion in a piece in the Fiji Times.

THE expansion of business knowledge just got better for women of the Pacific following a pilot program on business advisory.
At the Secretariat of the South Pacific's Community Education Training Centre, 20 women from the region graduated in business training at national level.

Deputy Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat Peter Forau said at the closing ceremony of the 12 day program, the graduates join 120 other women that were trained through CETC since 2004.

Such an achievement enabled the provision and maintenance of business training to many women at national level, he said.

"The fact that CETC has seen it fit to focus on business training for women is applauded and shows the quality of the thought process that is invested in the design of the centre's training program," Mr Forau said.

He hailed the centre for its focus on meaningful and worthwhile training activities that could positively change the lives of women and communities.

"As the saying goes - the wealth of our women is also the wealth of all.

"The bigger lesson though is what difference will the skills you have gained make in your own lives?

"Use the skills to your advantage, help other women develop and become leaders in the development of our communities."

So why are the UK so far behind?  Training is the recognised way to improve skills.  Or best expressed through the phrase “Knowledge is King”  If you believe as I do that write to your

Ask them why in a time of economic slow down, so little is being spent on training.


To your success in Business
