The authority said that this involves thorough evaluation and certification of training programmes.

Finally, the authority said that there is a focused initiative to strengthen control systems and procedures, creating a strong framework for the continuous improvement of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and professional qualifications of the local labour market.
