From Intern to Star Performer: Siteri’s Journey into Inclusive Employment
For Immediate Release | Suva, Fiji
The Job Discovery Program (JDP) proudly celebrates Siteri Daulali, whose six-month workplace attachment at Tanoa Plaza Hotel has culminated in a significant milestone, her selection as an employee of the hotel.
Siteri joined Tanoa Plaza Hotel in September 2025 as a JDP intern, beginning her six-month placement within the Housekeeping Department. From her first day, she demonstrated a strong commitment to learning, a willingness to take on new responsibilities, and a determination to succeed.
Throughout her attachment, Siteri worked alongside her colleagues and mentors, steadily developing her technical skills, workplace communication, independence, confidence, and ability to contribute to the daily operations of the hotel.
Her dedication and hard work did not go unnoticed.
At the completion of her six-month attachment, Siteri’s managers expressed confidence in her abilities and recognised her consistent performance and commitment. This resulted in her being selected to join Tanoa Plaza Hotel as an employee, marking an important transition from workplace training into meaningful employment.
Adding to this achievement, Siteri was recently recognised as the Star Performer for the 2nd Quarter of 2026, a testament to her determination, work ethic, and growth throughout her journey.
What makes Siteri’s story particularly inspiring is that this is exactly what she envisioned for herself from the beginning.
During her initial interview for the Job Discovery Program, Siteri expressed her aspiration to work at a hotel. Six months later, through her own determination, perseverance, and hard work, she has achieved the goal she set for herself.
Her journey is a powerful example of what can happen when a young person is given an opportunity, supported to develop their strengths, and trusted to demonstrate what they can do.
The Job Discovery Program acknowledges Tanoa Plaza Hotel and its management team for recognising Siteri’s potential, providing her with a supportive workplace environment, and creating a genuine pathway from training to employment.
Siteri’s achievement demonstrates that inclusive employment is not simply about providing an opportunity. It is about recognising ability, investing in potential, and creating the conditions for people to succeed.
From an intern with a dream, to a Star Performer, and now a valued employee of Tanoa Plaza Hotel, Siteri’s journey is a powerful example of determination in action.
Congratulations, Siteri. You envisioned it. You worked for it. You achieved it. 🌟
