A series of workshops will be held for the participants benefiting from the programme, who will also pay field visits to executive and consultancy authorities to be updated about successful entrepreneurs and hone their practical skills. Under the agreement, a batch of twenty young participants will be trained on the entrepreneurship, targeting particularly job-seekers who are registered with the Ministry of Labour and Social Development Ministry.

Mr Humaidan recently held a meeting with Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Kamal Ahmed and discussed ways of benefiting from the opportunities in this sector to provide jobs for citizens.
