Labour Minister Jamil bin Mohammed Humaidan received the Economic Development Board (EDB) work team, which is in charge of upgrading the educational and training sector, headed by Education and Training Development Director Geoff Hancock.
He got informed about setting up a joint work team between the Labour Ministry and EDB to map out a blueprint to create the National Workforce Observatory, and the efforts exerted in this regard.
The observatory will provide all needed data and information for relevant parties to map out educational and training schemes to benefit the local labour market.
The Labour Minister asserted that the project will contribute greatly to tackling various labour issues.
