The Labour Minister of Libya’s Parliament-designated government, Abdullah Al-Sharif Arhouma recently revealed an ambitious initiative aimed at training job seekers, and individuals with special needs. This comprehensive plan is set to benefit 25,000 domestic job seekers, and an additional 1,000 overseas.
During a graduation ceremony for job seekers sponsored by the Libyan government in the “CCNA” networking course in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Arhouma emphasised the Libyan government’s commitment to youth employment and skill development. He highlighted that both Prime Minister, Osama Hammad and the Commander-in-Chief of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, have stressed the importance of creating job opportunities, and providing training for the youth.
On Thursday, Arhouma met with the top ten candidates sent by the Libyan government to Jordan. During this meeting, he listened to the trainees’ ideas and proposals concerning overseas training, and the needs of various sectors in the Libyan job market. Plans are underway to establish specialized courses in these fields.
The initiative reflects the Libyan government’s proactive approach to addressing unemployment and skill gaps, particularly among the youth and those with special needs. This plan is a crucial step towards enhancing the employability and competitiveness of the Libyan workforce, both domestically and internationally.
Last month, Arhouma held discussions about collaborating with the Jordanian Flight Academy. This meeting marks a pivotal step in Libya’s efforts to advance its aviation sector, including aircraft maintenance and other key areas, while also aiming to enrich the local Libyan job market with specialized skills.
During an official visit to the Royal Jordanian Flight Academy, Arhouma was received by Mohamed Fayyad Al-Khawaldeh, the General Director of the Academy and the Queen Noor Civil Aviation Technical College.
Arhouma conducted a comprehensive tour of the college and academy facilities, and observed technical workshops. He expressed his admiration for the high level of professionalism and excellence maintained by the institutions.
These have been pivotal in shaping the aviation landscape over several decades, contributing significantly to the development and broadening of cooperation frameworks, with the Libyan aviation sector.
