🎉 Congratulations to Our Plumbing Graduates at MELSISI Central Pentecost! 🎉

Yesterday 10/06/25 marks a proud moment for all of us as we celebrate the successful graduation of our latest cohort of plumbing students. Their hard work, dedication, and perseverance have paid off — and now they step forward as skilled professionals ready to serve your communities and the nation.

This achievement would not have been possible without the strong collaboration and support of our valued partners. We extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to:

1- The Water Department, for not only supporting the training but also offering upcoming contracts that our new graduates will undertake — a real step toward empowering local skills and building stronger, more sustainable infrastructure.

2- Vanuatu Skills Partnership (VSP) and APTC/Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PAS), for their ongoing commitment to upskilling Ni-Vanuatu through practical, high-quality training pathways.

3. The Penama Provincial Education Office, Penama Skills Center, and CPIAA, for their coordination and support throughout this journey.

4- Our dedicated Training Provider, who has played a vital role in delivering the technical skills and hands-on knowledge required in this essential trade.

5- And to all community leaders, families, and supporters, thank you for standing behind our students every step of the way.

This is more than a graduation — it is a celebration of community empowerment, local capacity-building, and the bright future ahead for Pentecost and beyond.

Once again, congratulations to all our graduates! We look forward to seeing their skills to make a real impact in our communit and across Vanuatu.

Tankyu tumas, and best wishes on your next chapter.

Your continued commitment through our MoU is greatly appreciated.
