Samoa Apprenticeship Graduation 2025- Group and Family Photos

02/12/2025

The Faculty of Technical Education proudly celebrated another significant milestone as lecturers gathered to honor the graduation of 53 students who successfully completed the Samoa Apprenticeship Level III/IV Programme. This group represents the first cohort to graduate under the enhanced Apprenticeship Programme introduced in 2022.

The ceremony featured an inspiring keynote address delivered by the Minister of Commerce, Industry, and Labour, Afioga Hon. Fata Ryan Schuster, who emphasised the vital role of the programme in strengthening trade skills and supporting Samoa’s industrial and economic development. He also highlighted that the Apprenticeship Certificate is now internationally recognised—particularly in Australia and New Zealand—offering graduates broader opportunities within regional labour markets.

The Minister further acknowledged the National University of Samoa, under the Faculty of Technical Education, as the primary training provider for the various trade areas within the programme. Not forgetting the essential partnership and support of Ministry of Commerce Industry & Labour MCIL and the Samoa Qualifications Authority - SQA , who work closely with NUS FOTE to ensure the successful delivery and quality of this programme.

The Samoa Apprenticeship Scheme aims to develop a skilled, competent, and industry-ready workforce by integrating practical on-the-job training with structured theoretical learning. Through this blended approach, tradespeople in Samoa gain the knowledge, experience, and qualifications required to meet the country’s labour market demands and broader development goals.

Warm congratulations to all our graduates. Your perseverance, dedication, and commitment have brought you to this remarkable achievement. Malo lava le onosai!

Dear Staff and Students,

As we enter the rainy sea*on, we would like to remind all members of The National University of Samoa community to prioritize health and safety at all times. During this period, the increased rainfall and wet conditions can pose risks, both indoors and outdoors. Please take note of the following precautions:

1. Slippery Surfaces: Ensure you exercise caution when walking in areas that may become wet or slippery, including hallways, walkways, and parking lots. Use handrails where available and avoid running.

2. Flooding Risks: Stay updated on weather forecasts and be cautious around areas prone to flooding. Avoid crossing flooded areas, including roads and paths.

3. Turn Off Power Points: Ensure all power points are switched off when not in use, especially during heavy rain or storms. This reduces the risk of electrical hazards, including power surges or short circuits.

4. Avoid Using Electrical Tools: Refrain from using electrical tools and equipment during wet weather. The combination of moisture and electricity can create significant safety risks. Only use electrical tools if absolutely necessary and if you are certain they are safely insulated.

5. Health Precautions: The rainy sea*on can bring an increase in waterborne diseases. Practice good hygiene, wash your hands regularly, and avoid standing water to reduce the risk of illness.

6.Vehicle Safety: If driving, ensure your vehicle is equipped for wet weather conditions, and always adjust your speed accordingly to road conditions.

We appreciate your attention to these safety measures and encourage everyone to take individual responsibility for maintaining a safe environment for all. Should you have any concerns or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the campus health and safety office.

Thank you for your cooperation.

FOTE Management (OHS Team)
