The attendees and sponsors of the Conference discoursed about its
goals, the actionable means to curtail the rising unemployment in
Iraq, the actionable mechanisms to provide job opportunities to
graduate trainees of vocational training centers of MoLSA and
Ministry of Higher Teaching and Scientific Research.
Dr. Riyadh Hussein Al-Ali, Director General of Vocational Training
at MoLSA, declared “Our major tasks at MoLSA are adapting the
actionable staff in order to thrust them into Iraqi business market
by enlisting them into a special program, subsequent
training/rehabilitation at the training centers. The aim is to
attain a real outcome capable of finding an honorable employment
opportunity befitting to the trainee…….. We worked on programs to
support the unemployed, namely the Small Loans Program and the
“Social Protection” Program. Moreover, we have several cooperation
channels with international and Iraqi organizations, e.g. IACCI with
which we are currently cooperating to make the Conference a success
and to explore job opportunities to the recently increasing numbers
of unemployed trainees. We shall work, through the Conference, to
announce the r numbers of unemployed trainees in need for job
opportunities.
Colonel Ronald Allen, a responsible military, said “The Conference
is the interaction with 300 companies through teaching them how to
win contracts by employing graduates from training centers of MoLSA
and Ministry of Higher Education as workforce for Iraqi companies to
execute the projects,
Lady Colonel Diego-Allard , of the Joint Contracting Committee Iraq,
said “I am from the Contracting Office. I have focused on Iraqi
companies. Currently, 50% of contracts from Reconstruction Office
are for Iraqi companies. We are striving to extend the volume of
projects to Iraqi companies. Through the Conference, we shall work
at training Iraqi companies for bidding on would-be-worth 5 billion
dollars projects. IACCI’s members shall be given priority for
training; thereafter, we shall work at extending the participation
of other Iraqi companies, other economic sectors and all business
fields.” |
