Centre for National Productivity

Since the establishment of SINU in 2013, it has focused almost exclusively on award courses for full time students. The needs for human resource development in the country now expands beyond producing people with formal qualifications at the Certificate, Diploma, Degree and Post Graduate levels. A major perceived demand is for training for people already in the workforce. By law, SINU is tasked with the responsibility, inter alia, of “improving the skills and knowledge of the existing work force through education and training” (s6a(11), SINU Act), hence, the establishment of the Centre for Productivity, Professional Development and Life-Long Learning (CPPDLL) trading name “Centre for National Productivity” (CNP).

CNP is established as a dynamic Workforce Training Programs (WTP) section. Our aim is to provide the best Professional and Community development short course trainings that will give a competitive edge needed at the workplace. Therefore, the Centre exists to educate work-forces through Industry demand-driven training Programmes that will contribute to sustainable economic, social and environmental development of Solomon Islands.
