Minister for Women Resource Development and Horticulture, Salhoutuonuo Kruse, on Monday, emphasised on the importance of skill development training to capture the job opportunities in the construction sector.
Speaking as the guest of honour at the closing program of Skill Proficiency Management for Building and Other Construction Workers ‘Advanced Training of Trainers (TOT) 2022-23’ at Khonoma village today, Kruse viewed that with government jobs having reached a saturation point, it has become crucial for Nagas to empower themselves with necessary knowledge and skills to capture the job opportunities in construction sector.
“When we have equipped ourselves with the required skills and techniques, it will pave way for personal growth as well as professional advancement,” Kruse stated.
