FOUR Consultative Implementation Monitoring Council (CIMC) graduate trainees, who are part of the organization’s Graduate Development Program (GDP), have been commended following their review presentations.
These trainees, who are now two months into their program, gave presentations on their experiences with CIMC, key learnings, and accomplishments to date.
They also provided insights into the sectors they are attached to, discussed challenges faced, and outlined expected future outcomes for their roles.
Wallis Yakam, Executive Officer for CIMC, was present to assess the presentations and expressed her impression of the trainees’ work.
“I’ll say that the quality of the presentations and the way you put them together makes it seem as if you’ve been doing it for ages. It really amazes me,” Mrs. Yakam said during her feedback.
Mrs. Yakam also commended the trainees for their deep understanding of each sector, which was clearly displayed in their presentations.
Long-time CIMC staff members also noted the significant progress and confidence the trainees have built since commencing the program two months ago.
Each graduate trainee is currently attached to four of the 11 operating sectoral committees of the CIMC:
Pana Kumbamong: Governance and Service Delivery Sectoral Committee
Konley Semick: Agriculture Sectoral Committee
Josephine Ine’e: Commerce and Services Sectoral Committee
Wesley Mis: Transport and Infrastructure Sectoral Committee and ICT Subcommittee
The trainees also acknowledged CIMC for providing them with the opportunity to kick-start their careers within the organization.
In addition to the review presentations, the meeting included updates on CIMC’s priority activities. Sector leads provided progress reports for the first quarter of 2026 and outlined their strategic plans for the remainder of the year.
