Plans are being laid for new investment zones but there are significant labour shortages in existing ones. How does the BOI propose to address this ?
It has to be done nationally. There is a miscommunication because rural youth do not know about the large number of vacancies in the zones. We will accumulate a list of all the vacancies and the companies and advertise them to the rural youth. We intend to conduct public awareness programs on TV and newspapers and have weekly programs in different factories to show the public the benefits of working in the zones. We have one of the best workforces regionally and if they have grievances they must be looked into. We will encourage more youth to work in the zones. -
Thats a relief no foreigners
