WORKING GROUPS RESPONSIBLE for the implementation of Government’s Human Resources Development Strategy (HRDS) met today for the first in a series of action planning workshops.
Each of the working groups met to focus on implementation and monitoring.
Minister of Labour Dr Esther Byer Suckoo, said the HRDS will focus on demand-driven education and training, so persons undertaking the courses would be pursuing the courses required for the job.
She also said emphasis will be placed on the development of tourism, agriculture and entrepreneurship as well as innovation and research. (LK)
