Investing in Communities by Creating Opportunities
Papua New Guinea’s building and infrastructure sectors continue to expand, increasing demand for skilled workers in specialised technical fields. However, access to hands-on training in trades such as elevator installation and maintenance remains limited, especially for young women who may face cultural or industry barriers when exploring technical careers.
JD Elevators PNG believes that strong communities thrive when local people are given real opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute. This belief shapes the company’s commitment to supporting local talent through training, mentorship, and clear pathways into skilled technical roles.
A key part of this vision is ensuring that women have equal access to engineering and trade professions. This commitment has already created an important milestone for both the company and the country.
Roa and Elma are now the first two female Technicians in Training at JD Elevators PNG, working toward becoming Papua New Guinea’s first qualified female elevator technicians.
Their journey reflects the impact of community investment and the belief that talent grows when individuals are supported and encouraged to pursue their goals.
Creating Pathways for Women in Technical Trades
JD Elevators PNG is dedicated to providing women with genuine opportunities to explore technical careers. Through structured training, guided learning, and field experience alongside certified technicians, the company offers a clear pathway into the elevator and electrical services industry.
This approach has helped Roa and Elma build confidence and develop essential technical skills. Their progress shows how access, mentorship, and encouragement can open doors for women in specialised technical fields.
Building Confidence, Skill, and Belonging
Technical industries in PNG have historically been male dominated, which can make it difficult for women to step forward. JD Elevators PNG works intentionally to create a workplace environment where every trainee feels respected, supported, and welcomed from the very beginning.
Through hands-on practice, structured training sessions, and daily guidance from experienced mentors, Roa and Elma have grown in both capability and confidence. They now serve as positive examples for young women across PNG who may be considering engineering or trade careers. Their journey proves that women can succeed in technical professions when given the right support and opportunities.
A Commitment That Strengthens PNG’s Future Workforce
JD Elevators PNG views technical training as a long-term investment in the country’s future workforce. By supporting local trainees and empowering more women to enter skilled fields, the company is helping build a stronger, more capable pool of technicians who will support the ongoing development of Port Moresby, Lae, Mt Hagen, and other growing regions.
This commitment contributes to:
- Gender inclusion
- Skills development
- Local expertise
- Economic growth
- Community empowerment
Roa and Elma’s progress shows what can happen when a company invests in its people and contributes actively to community development.
Inspiring the Next Generation
The story of PNG’s first female Technicians in Training in the elevator industry is already inspiring interest among students, training institutions, and young women across the country. Their journey encourages others to consider engineering and technical careers that may have once felt out of reach.
