Kuwait approve the program to gauge expat workers need

Deputy Director General for Expatriate Workers Affairs at Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) Hassan Al-Khidher disclosed that Projects Management Program has been approved to estimate the need for expatriate workers in government contracts, reports Al-Jarida daily.

Al-Khidher disclosed that the new program will put a stop to wrong or fictitious estimation for contracts, adding approval of the technical program is an aspect of the authority’s seriousness in its quest to improve the estimation of needs, in addition to the implication of recruiting expatriate workers for government projects according to the actual needs.

He reaffirmed the process will finally close the door to the phenomenon of marginal and roaming workers, which has caused lapses in the population structure. He stated the process will enable the authority to specify the actual need for expatriate workers at every stage of projects while recruiting them to complete projects based on need.

He noted the Expatriate Workers Sector collaborated with the Planning and Vocational Skills Approval Sector and Kuwait University to organize training sessions concerning the project for supervisors and heads of departments at the Needs Estimation Unit, saying Dr Huda Buqumaz delivered the lectures during the training sessions.
