The Lavengamalie Institute of Technology (LIT) was established in 2012 offering courses at Level 4, including Secretarial Work, Business Administration and Computerized Accounting. The Director, Sangstar Saulala said Dr Maeakafa’s success in connecting the Institute with CESA would elevate the Institute's study program, which provides opportunities for all ages, genders and education levels, for employment and further educational opportunities.
