Labour Solutions Australia (LSA) operations manager Mr. Dave Comrie and National Health Executive Mrs. Lee Cheesman visited Honiara to meet with stakeholders and build on their Health Business plan with Solomon Island workers.
Mr. Comrie and Mrs. Cheesman yesterday met with Age Care preparatory students to brief them on their plan for recruitment here in the Solomon Islands.
LSA is one of Australia’s leading labour hire and recruitment providers that has been recruiting Solomon Islands workers since the start of the PALM scheme to work in the Horticulture and Meat sector in Australia.
LSA currently employs over 800 Solomon Islanders.
This latest visit is an initial step towards future recruitment of Solomon Islanders to work in the Age Care sector in Australia.
The students who met up with LSA have been trained by the Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC) under the Working in Aged Care Preparation Skill Set training program. They are also part of the government’s labour mobility-linked work ready pool.
