STUDENTS ON JOB TRAINING WITH DPM

The Department of Personnel Management has welcomed six students fro the Caritas Technical Secondary School, acknowledging the importance of nurturing future talent.

The six Grade 11 students have commenced their on-the-job training with the Department of Personnel Management (DPM), each required to complete 400 hours as part of their academic requirements.

The training, which runs over several weeks, provides the students with practical exposure to a real workplace setting, enabling them to apply classroom knowledge to actual work scenarios.

For the students, this is not just about fulfilling a requirement but an opportunity to gain valuable insight into the world of public service.

On-the-job training is considered a crucial step in preparing students for the workforce.

It bridges the gap between theory and practice, instills confidence, and equips young people with skills they can use in their future careers.

The students expressed excitement at being attached with DPM, noting that the department’s central role in coordinating and managing public service matters makes it an ideal learning environment.

By choosing DPM, the students believe they have made the best choice, as the exposure will allow them to understand the inner workings of government, human resource management, and service delivery to the people of Papua New Guinea.

“We are happy to be here and to learn new things. This experience will give us the courage to move forward when we eventually start work,” the students shared.

Their participation reflects the departments commitment to supporting education and providing young Papua New Guineans with the opportunities and experiences they need to thrive in the workforce now and in the future.
