Technicians participate in ‘training the trainers’ programme

FOUR technicians from Remington Technology and FX Business Centre (Fujifilm Business Innovation PNG) are participating in a pioneer programme called “training the trainers”.
The company said, in a statement, that the aim was to train technicians so that upon graduating, they would be registered as instructors and trainers for Remington Technology and FX Business Centre through the Papua New Guinea National Training Council (NTC).
It said the training was facilitated by Elites Training and Consultancy, a NTC-certified training provider.
The programme is a first for these market-leading technology and document solutions companies.
The four technicians taking part in this programme have a combined 58 years of experience in the field and a wealth of knowledge to share.
Remington Technology’s technical training and support manager Andrew Schmidt, service manager Frederick Tolison, service field and technician supervisor Nelson Nombri and FX Business Centre senior service technician Micah Zale will be assessed based on projects and presentations in four sessions.
Remington group chief executive officer Peter Goodwin said the group continued to evolve and it would like to see their employees grow.
“We’re in the business of developing Papua New Guineans in their chosen specialist fields,” he said.
“The four certified technicians that are part of this programme, which is the first of its kind for us, are the best at what they do.
“Collectively, they’ve been with the company for 58 years and it is only right we provide them with the tools they need to train our next generation of technicians.
“Once they are certified, they will be responsible for training all technical staff of Remington Group, this will include apprentices that are part of the current apprenticeship programme that Remington runs.”
