Want staff who are more appropriately skilled to work in your industry?
Cut down your time training new staff by strengthening the skills they are learning at our national training institutes. VQA needs your industry knowledge.
The Vanuatu Qualifications Authority is working with VCCI to find the best private sector individuals to review subjects and skills taught in our national training and vocational education centres so that the quality of the training improves and the graduates are better able to hit the ground running in the workplaces.
The way that it currently works is that when a higher education facility or training institution wishes to teach any course that provides a qualification, the modules taught need to be approved by the Vanuatu Qualifications Board.
The first step is for every unit of competency that makes up this qualification is checked to be of a quality standard. It is then passed to an Industry Expert Panel to make sure its useful and of value to the industry. Once approved it then moves on to an Industry Skills Council for final endorsement.
Currently members from the private sector are needed in the following industry areas:
| Industry sector | Specification |
| Business | Administration
Management Procurement |
| Finance | Bookkeeping
Accounting Financial services |
| Printing and graphics | General |

We are looking for people who knows what it takes to be qualified and capable to work and contribute to the success of the above sectors.
How much of your time will you have to commit?
The Panels meet only when there is a need to review modules (on average once every quarter). The Industry Councils meet 4 times annually.
Will I get paid for my time?
There is a daily sitting fee of 5,000vt provided for your time.
VCCI encourages everyone who wants to see change and has the time to send an email to adviser@vcci.vu, stating which industry and/or subsector you wish to support.
Thank you for considering this important opportunity.
