In a small but heartfelt ceremony recently, the National Cultural Commission farewelled three student interns who had completed a six-week attachment with the Commission. The event was witnessed by senior officers, staff members, and a guest lecturer from Pacific Adventist University (PAU). The interns included Daphane Mou and Movi’e Issac from PAU and Grace Mendai from the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG). While Mou and Issac completed their industrial practicum as part of their university course requirements, Mendai worked as a casual staff member during her semester break. Speaking on behalf of the Executive Director, Mr. Steven Enomb Kilanda, NCC Corporate Services Manageress Jenny Jeffery congratulated the interns on completing their program and acknowledged their contributions. “We are extremely proud of these groups of interns who have shown distinctive character, and they have been committed to their assigned tasks and deliver in a timely manner.” “On behalf of the Executive Director, the NCC Board, Management, and Staff, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.” She also welcomed Ms. Larvarah Haihavu, a lecturer from PAU, who attended to witness the final-year project presentations. Speaking on behalf of the interns, Mou expressed heartfelt gratitude to the NCC for the opportunity. “We are also grateful to the Executive Director of the NCC for his vision and leadership.” “Your advocacy for opportunities that allow university students to gain practical experience through the traineeship program is commendable.” She added that the internship fostered personal and professional growth and thanked the Corporate Division for their mentorship. The event concluded with the presentation of certificates of attainment, followed by a cake-cutting ceremony and a photo session, marking a memorable end to the interns' journey with the NCC.
