Outsource Fiji made a significant impact at this year’s Fiji Showcase, which took place at the Vodafone Arena in Suva. The event featured an engaging booth that showcased the country’s expanding outsourcing sector to the public. A rotating lineup of Outsource Fiji’s member companies from the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO), and Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) sectors participated, sharing their success stories, career opportunities, and innovative technologies.
This initiative provided valuable insights into Fiji’s potential as an emerging global outsourcing destination and created a platform for students, job seekers, and business owners to directly engage with industry professionals. Josefa Wivou, the executive director of Outsource Fiji, highlighted that participation in this event aligns with their Strategic Plan for 2021-2025, emphasizing goals focused on industry growth, workforce development, and talent readiness. Wivou stated, “These moments of direct interaction are key to demystifying outsourcing and making it more inclusive, especially for youth and those seeking new career paths.”
Marketing consultant Pravin Narain echoed this sentiment by pointing out that the collective involvement of the member companies demonstrated the outsourcing sector’s strength and diversity. The showcase represented more than just a display of services; it was a movement towards changing perceptions about outsourcing in Fiji, shifting the focus from overseas associations to local growth and employment opportunities.
Moreover, the event reinforced Fiji’s dedication to transforming its services sector by building a talent pipeline and attracting investments, ultimately contributing to sustainable local job creation. The showcase concluded last Sunday, leaving behind a positive outlook for the future of Fiji’s outsourcing industry, which has shown resilience in recent years, especially during challenging periods like the COVID-19 pandemic.
In summary, Outsource Fiji is not only promoting the growth of outsourcing in Fiji but also fostering a spirit of collaboration and inclusivity, offering a promising trajectory for the workforce and the broader economy.
