"The Angolan government is committed to this purpose, with a view to ensuring social inclusion and eliminating poverty, and it is with this in mind that we have created the National Employment Observatory, which aims to improve the reduction of the unemployment rate, as well as the National Employment Agenda and the Angolan National Employment Fund", stated Teresa Dias, quoted in a statement from the Ministry of Public Administration, Labour and Social Security, to which VerAngola had access.
On the occasion, the head of the Public Administration, Labour and Social Security portfolio clarified that, through the Angolan National Employment Fund, "initiatives such as the promotion of professional training, promotion of self-employment, support for entrepreneurship as well as the intensification of paid professional internships, among others" will be financed.
Thus, she said that "the government has been extremely concerned with promoting the digital transformation process".
"The government has been extremely concerned about promoting the digital transformation process, highlighting both the dominance of startups and the importance of Technological Centers for Vocational Training," the minister pointed out, as quoted in the note.
Teresa Dias also announced that last year, the National Institute for Employment and Vocational Training trained 112,336 citizens in the 1801 training units of the National Vocational Training System.
The minister highlighted that "there is still a long way to go towards the materialization of national and international goals aimed at promoting decent and sustainable employment," the statement reads.
