 I wanted to be a nurse but my qualification was not enough to meet the requirement of nursing. My father passed away in 2009. I stayed home and wanted to help my mother, and my other siblings, and did not know how to get a job. I dropped out of college at Form 7 and had no work experience at all. I came across TYEE and I decided to contact them if they can help me. [Hi.. I'm really interested in your Facebook page on how you helped youth to find a job. I always wanted a job but couldn't have the courage to do so. I dropped out from school at F/7 and I hope you'll help me on how to find a job.] Thanks I got an interview with TYEE not long after my registration. I also participated in their Work Readiness training program. I was honoured to be part of it and was very happy. I was so excited as I was on my way to landing my first job. After our training, I was called for a couple of job interviews with TYEE RECRUITMENT for housekeeping and shop assistant positions, but I decided to wait for a better job. After a few weeks, I was tired of staying home with no luck with jobs, no money and I wanted to get out and work to help my family and also for me to be financially independent. When TYEE contacted me again last week for another job interview, I made up my mind that I will take this job and let that be my first new job. I had to start somewhere especially after considering my qualification was not that good and a lot of youth with better education are looking for jobs. Hi!! just stopping by to say hi and thank you for putting me into a job. I'm still learning a lot of things but I'll love it thanks to you and your team for the help. I am thankful for this opportunity and wish to encourage my fellow youth jobseekers out there to take the first leap and start exploring the working life. As Mohammed Ali said it, "I hate every minute of Training but I said, don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a Champion".

And I‘m very proud of TYEE MANAGEMENT AND STAFF WITH THEIR GOAL AND PLANNING. ~Sione Fatafehi Hausia Sione Fatafehi Hausia came to register with TYEE in his effort to find work. Hausia had keen interests in Hospitality & Tourism and Training. When an entry level job opening became available for our youth, we would get a 8/10 not interested. When Hausia is contacted about it, we would always get a big fat yes from him. "I'll take the job". The job opportunities on offer ranged from a Kitchen Assistant, Reception, Housekeeping, Waiter, Cleaner, Customer Service and Driver. The last opportunity we presented to Hausia, it was an Internship position with the Ministry of Tourism Tonga for almost 4 weeks during the Heilala Week 2016. Hausia (together with his fellow interns) was highly commended by the Ministry's Officer in Charge; Simata Palu for his commitment and all round effort in everything he was asked to do. Hausia has paid the price to learn variety of skills, gained some experience and he never gave up. He stumbled and fell but he kept going when the challenges became so impossible to handle. Today, Hausia has been offered a new office, new job and new location. The opportunities are out there, but the question is: are you prepared and ready to face the challenge to achieve and make yourself proud? Ko e ngaue ko eni kou ma’u koe Officer in Charge for the Ministry of Tourism ‘Eua Office, as Assistant Information Officer for ‘Eua Tourism. Pea kou hounga’ia lahi aupito he ngaue ni thanks be to God and I give him the glory. ~Sione Fatafehi Hausia
