95 selected security guards who have attended recent trainings held by Choibuk Security Services are set to start work as early as Saturday 1st February this year.
Noel Hakopes, senior instructor of Choibuk Security Services expressed this at the end of the second training yesterday at the Wesley United Church compound.
He said at the moment, they only have 95 spots under their new contract and maybe 15 spots for standby security guards.
Hakopes told the guards that if they don’t make the list, their names will be in Choibuk’s next list for a new contract in March and April.
He added that for this contract, they will need 30 guards.
Hakopes also told guards who attended the trainings but did not receive certificates that they will have to complete the assessments they have not done before they can be given their certificates.
Choibuk’s contract set for next month is from Australian Solomon Islands Program Support Facility (ASIPS), particularly Solomon Islands Infrastructure Program (SIIP).
This is Choibuk’s biggest contract and is for a one-year period.
Contracted with Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Choibuk will provide security services for DFAT residences, offices and properties.
