Talatona – The Ministry of Public Administration, Labour and Social Security (MAPTSS) has pledged this year to reviving, modernising and expanding 20 Integrated Employment and Vocational Training Centers, in order to facilitate intermediation between businesses and job seekers.
In the country’s 18 provinces, 1,439 training facilities are in operation, of which 158 are training centers and the remaining others are dedicated to arts and crafts pavilions, which are assisted by 1,300 trainers controlled by MAPTESS.
The information was made public on Friday by the Minister, Teresa Rodrigues Dias, when speaking to the press after the inauguration ceremony of the Talatona Integrated Employment and Vocational Training Center in Luanda.
The official explained that the revitalisation and modernisation programme of training centers allows to know the profile of job seekers, companies available to recruit, select and also guarantees the registration of interested parties, even from their homes or offices.
She said she hoped the process would define what national unemployment statistical language should be, so that the numbers are affirmed, with results drawn from a platform of sample-driven statistical data.
For Teresa Dias, the platform is used to better plan, distribute employment policies, according to the geographical need of each training, company and location.
