The Fiji National University (FNU) and prior to its establishment, the Fiji Institute of Technology (FIT), is a major provider of office administrators and secretaries in both the private and public sectors. Over time, technological and economic changes have impacted on the type and quality of personnel required by government and employers in the various sections of the private sector. This paper will discuss the quality and relevance of the office administration programs and courses implemented by the Fiji Institute of Technology/Fiji National University and assess the compatibility of these programs with the various needs and demands of employers. Feedback on quality of lectures, tutorial support, access to course materials and program related information and FIT/FNU support of student work attachments will also be discussed. The paper will identify areas where consultation and collaboration between FNU, employers and ex-students can occur to provide job opportunities and knowledge, skills and practical training for FNU students and graduates alike.
