Engineering certificates ‘accreditation’ to begin
The Public Authority for Manpower, with the cooperation of the Kuwait Society of Engineers, will start the procedures for accrediting the certificates of 71 professions in the engineering, architectural and agricultural fields, and assistant engineering professions, reports Al-Qabas daily. According to informed sources, the procedures will not only be concerned with the approval of certificates, but will also include conducting tests in some specialties and professions, as part of a plan to filter marginal workers out of the labor market.
The interview will be carried out for many professions and specializations, such as interior designers and draftsmen working in the electrical, civil and mechanical engineering fields. Meanwhile, a report by the Public Authority for Civil Information revealed that the number of non-Kuwaiti workers registered in the professions of technician, assistant specialists in natural sciences, and engineering in the private sector was 30,000, compared to only 310 Kuwaitis.
