KIFCO jobs fair 'a great success'
KUWAIT: The Kuwait International Fairs Company's (KIFCO) latest jobs fair ended yesterday, with the event being deemed a great success by the organizers. The jobs fair was inaugurated by Sheikh Ahmad Meshaal Al-Sabah, the Assistant Undersecretary at development and housing minister Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah's office, on behalf of the minister, who was the patron of the event. Jamal Al-Haroun, the executive director of administrative affairs with Al-Ikhlas International Holding Company, one of the firms participating in the event, commended the idea behind the jobs exhibition and the great results it had achieved. Al-Haroun said that the jobs fair had created a non-traditional atmosphere to present the available job opportunities while also allowing jobseekers to meet the decision-makers from a significant number of firms. Another employer participating in the jobs fair was Mohammad Tawfiqe, the Director General of the Dahliya and Mansouriya Cooperative Society, who explained that by taking part in this event, he hoped to inform the public about job opportunities in the co-op and point out the best aspects of working there. Tawfiqe said that Kuwait's co-ops are very interested in employing Kuwaiti people and providing them with training in all technical and administrative aspects in order to benefit both the Co-ops and the employees. He added that one of the most prominent features of the Kuwaiti job market is the variety of expatriates seeking work, offering Kuwait an opportunity to benefit from the various cultures of these individuals. He added, however, that a major problem for the country is the number of unskilled or semi-skilled workers who lack the necessary skills required by the jobs market, making them a burden on the country's resources and leading to increased crime rates by those who turn to crime since they are unable to find work.  |
