Heads learn PV skills

By ALEXANDER NARA
WEST New Britain provincial administration divisional heads and senior officers have undergone a personal viability training course.
The two-week Personal Viability Training ended last Thursday after a three-day retreat held in Hoskins where all divisional heads joined focus as a team in a rare but important progressive step forward to enable fair, adequate and swift delivery of services to the people.
Closing the training at the Kimbe Catholic Diocese Conference hall, provincial administrator Steven Raphael said the training established under the Entrepreneurial Development Training Ltd was aimed at holistic human development.
Raphael, who was one of the participants, said the training was the key to instilling skills of empowerment as well as humility and submitting to authority.
He said the training was a life enrichment training that all public servants should undergo .
He said ypas it created a platform for them and brought out their potential in managing themselves after leaving the workforce.
Raphael said public service was not a permanent post and public servants must not get lost in its comfort.
He said they should create a pathway in using skills acquired in such training.
Raphael said almost 90% of all public servants had lost focus on how they would settle after retirement because all had been blinded by the comfort of being a public servant.
Deputy provincial administrator field services Lt-Col John Porti said the training had placed the participants on the road to gaining humility, which was the key to generating quality skills of leadership.
