Kuwaiti youth goaded toward careers in private sector

Two national entities join forces to egg on Kuwaiti youth to find careers in the private sector in running perhaps their own SMEs which would ultimately imbue in them the spirit of wanting to have their businesses and free them from the shackles of tethering their future to seeking stagnant jobs in the public sector, it was learned here on Tuesday.
The two entities -- Manpower and Government Restructuring Program, and the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training stressed in a jointly-signed memorandum of understanding today the need to steer Kuwaiti youth, among them mostly post-secondary school graduates, to look for future career jobs in the private sector.
The Manpower Program, said its secretary general Fawzi Al-Majdeli in a press statement, sought to guide young graduates and job seekers to enrich the national economy by striking it out on their own in the private sector.
On his part, Dr. Ahmad Al-Atheri, director of the Public Authority in a similar statement, said the Public Authority was more than ready to work with The Program to help young graduates and job seekers find lasting career choices in the private sector, noting that time was ripe for that as the country is involved in constructing mega projects such as the new airport expansion and the Sheikh Mubarak seaport, requiring eager and competent job seekers.
