The government is continuing efforts to upskill human resources countrywide in response to the predicted need for technical skills.
A Department of Public Information (DPI) release said that one such effort is an online life skills training programme which was launched on Tuesday and is a collaboration between the Ministry of Labour’s Board of Industrial Training (BIT) and Coursera, a global online course provider.
According to DPI, so far, more than 115 persons have grasped the opportunity to register for the online life training programme. It was explained that Coursera will provide training to BIT beneficiaries in four mandatory areas including Literacy, Numeracy, Health and Wellness, and Entrepreneurship.
