Graduate development program (GDP)

Billy Minata and Josephine Beni are pioneers of the Remington GDP initiative. Josephine Beni is the Inventory & Supply Assistant in the Logistics Department and Billy Minata is one of Internal Auditors in the Finance Department.

The Remington Group GDP is a four-year program that provides hands-on training and learning through exposure to different areas of the business. It allows a graduate to be matched with a mentor - who is an industry expert based on his or her skills and interests.

Leon Soka, a participant who was recruited for the 2016-2017 program, said: “It is our conviction (belief) that the PNG Ports GDP will serve as an important succession planning tool for the organisation going forward.

“And not only is PNG Ports contributing toward its staff capacity building through its GDP, the investment in the GDP is also serving the common national development goals of human resource development.”
