Luanda – The Angolan government trained 75,420 civil servants and administrative agents in the first quarter of this year through the Ministry of Public Administration, Labour and Social Security (MAPTSS), as part of compulsory training to meet the needs of the institutions, said on Tuesday in the Province of Luanda the minister of MAPTSS, Teresa Rodrigues.
The information was given when she was speaking at the 14th edition of the CaféCIPRA, forum sponsored by the Press Centre of the Presidency of the Republic of Angola (CIPRA), held under the theme “Training human capital in the country and in the best universities in the world: goals and results”,
Teresa Dias said that within the scope of the Single Public Recruitment Entity, 2,291 professionals were recruited to the civil service in the same period, through seven public recruitment processes organised by the various ministerial departments.
In the vocational training system, the Integrated Technological Training Centre (CINFOTEC) trained 434,163 people, with courses that demand more hours, equivalent to a school year, due to their advanced level, such as robotics, electronics, mechatronics, agricultural mechanisation, meteorology, environmental management, among others.
She acknowledged that there is still a long way to go, as there are many young people demanding vocational training and there are no centres to receive them all at once, so gradually there needs to be quality training spaces and courses that the market demands.
Teresa Rodrigues revealed that vocational training programmes exist because of the real needs of the country so that people can create jobs and contribute to promoting employment.
