"We have tasked our Human Resource department to see the internal process in recruitment, how to actually select them. They can be from different fields in, Business, IT, HR, Accounting and Customer Service."

After the first three months, MVIL anticipates to take on board a second lot of graduates who meet appropriate criteria and guidelines set out by them.
