“I know for a fact that some iTaukei are always reluctant to pay for training. This support is crucial for iTaukei resource owners who may be new to the complexities of running a business.”

Tonawai noted that employees are a vital component of any business, and proper training ensures that businesses can manage their workforce effectively.

By participating in training programs provided by the FCEF, Tonawai ensures that i-Taukei resource owners can better position themselves to succeed in the competitive business environment.
