Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said the public employment programme for the country’s socially vulnerable individuals, proposed by him late last year, had given jobs to 25,000 people since March.
Speaking to the media, the head of the government said the figure was still “not enough”, and that “better communication” was required to better promote the government initiative.
He added “qualified labour force” remained a domestic problem, and stressed his government planned to provide additional funds to invest in vocational education.
“The lack of professionals is certainly an obvious problem, and the government has plans to invest even more in vocational education. This is a serious challenge not only in our country, but in many foreign states and requires joint work”, Garibashvili said. (Agenda/Business World Magazine)
