Vision

Kiribati is a young, vibrant growing population that the Government is focusing to invest in tertiary education and training through capacity building training initiatives offered by KIT and MTC with assurance of secured employment to outputs. This is in line with government’s aspirations reflected in the KV20 and KDP 2016-2019 for Human Capital development through inclusive formal education that creates wider skills development to support overseas and domestic employment. It is also aligning to the long-term plan for the establishment of new vocational technical training centers on the outer Islands, as well as the enhancement of closer collaboration between industry and vocational training institutes.

Mission

"Building Resilient Workforce Through Inclusive Training With International Quality Assured Qualifications To Meet Domestic And International Labour Market Needs And Ensuring Decent Work For All."

In the pursuit of this mission, the Ministry is focusing on combining its resources to work as a team to seek out and ensure available employment opportunities within Kiribati and abroad are supplied with skilled I-Kiribati workers that meet the needs of employers.

This will be supported through the provision of quality, industry driven and inclusive technical and vocational education training (TVET)programs that up-skill our I-Kiribati at national and international level. With the assistance of our partners, MEHR support systems and processes for recruitment, job matching, worker mobilization and welfare will be continuously improved to meet world best practice standards.
