THE Ministry of Labour, Immigration and Population is planning to turn out around 5,000 skilled workers through trainings that will enhance their technical capability required to work, according to the Myawady Daily.

U Aung Htay, deputy director-general of the ministry, said that arrangements are being made to provide trainings to the target population from skills development training divisions opened in Yankin and Dagon Myothit (North) townships in Yangon, Pathein Township in Ayeyawady Region and Setse Township in Mon State.

The skills development training divisions is scheduled to be opened in Hpa-an, a town of Kayin State, with an intention of promoting capability of employees to meet the international standards.

The ministry has a plan to open skills development training schools and centers on a yearly basis. No degree is required to apply for skills development courses. Every sector needs skilled workers who are able to add value.

Myanmar enacted the Employment and Skill Development Law in August 2013. The country is putting continuous efforts to give trainings to meet the technical skill norm for the employment seekers and employees.
