This program, which is essential to the national development plan, aligns with the First Deputy Prime Minister’s and Interior Minister Sheikh Talal Al Khaled’s directions.
PAM reports that this week will see the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with PAAET. The foundation for required technical and practical exams for skilled workers in Kuwait will be established by the Memorandum of Understanding between PAM and PAAET.
The MoU, which will shortly be signed, specifies how the examinations will be applied to particular professions and how they will be introduced progressively. It is significant to remember that the primary goal of these exams is to raise Kuwaiti workers’ technical skill levels, which is vital for the labor market’s growth.
