Personnel from the local government department recently completed a computer course to help them with their daily activities.

During a recent presentation ceremony at the ministry’s boardroom, the participants, along with the department's principal secretary Vincent Meriton, Daniel Port-Louis of Compufast and instructor Kenneth Mirabeau, gathered to commemorate their achievement.

The batch of participants included secretaries, district administrators and assistant administrative officers, as well as other employees from the local government secretariat. 

In his address, Mr Meriton, who had been a participant himself, congratulated everyone who participated, urging them to apply the knowledge they have gained through the course to improve their quality of work.

“Having placed much emphasis on training, be it in accounting, public relations skills and many more, computers are also imperative to ensure that we have qualified and efficient workers in the ministry,” Mr Meriton said.

Exposing its officials to proper computing skills is vital also to allow them to keep in line with technological developments in the world, Mr Meriton added.

Josianne Hoareau, one of the course's participants, expressed her gratitude towards the organisers of the training programme.

Mrs Hoareau, assistant administrator for the Roche Caiman district, said that she and her colleagues would use the knowledge gained as a result of the course to the best of their ability.
