The new Chief Executive Officer of the Australia-Pacific Technical College, Ms Denise O’Brien, has taken up the reins of her new job.

The Australia-Pacific Technical College (APTC) in Port Vila has begun the delivery of the first Certificate IV in Youth Work training program. Twenty youth workers from Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands have commenced a five-month program, which when successfully completed will provide them with an internationally recognised qualification as youth workers. These students have brought to the course, a diverse range of skills and abilities in working with young people, families and their communities. It has been this excellent background and commitment to making a difference in their communities that makes this student group exceptional.

The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Fiji, Professor Mahendra Kumar, was the guest of honour when more than 80 APTC students graduate in Namaka. Students of the Australia-Pacific Technical College graduated in a big ceremony in Namaka, Fiji, on Friday 21 September.
