The Secondment Program is designed to facilitate the temporary transfer of FIU staff to another FIU. This program aims to provide employees with the opportunity to learn and engage in the host FIU’s activities, which can range from general functions to specialized tasks. The primary goals are to:
- Enhance Skills and Knowledge: By working in a different FIU, employees can gain new insights and expertise that are beneficial to their professional development and their home FIU’s operations.
- Mentorship: During the secondment, the host FIU staff act as mentors, guiding the secondees through their learning journey and helping them adapt to new practices and methodologies.
- Knowledge Exchange: The program promotes the exchange of best practices and innovative approaches between FIUs, fostering a collaborative environment.
- Professional Growth: The experience gained can open up new career opportunities and pathways for the secondees, contributing to their long-term career development.
