The consultation revealed planned activity, such as the construction of fifty out-stations for Solomon<br />
Power over the next seven years, which will require approximately 150 trained electricians. Most<br />
authorities consulted indicated significant growth in the near future, with training required not only<br />
for trade skills, but also in areas such as leadership <strong>and</strong> management, <strong>and</strong> project management.<br />
PNG<br />
