KLANG, 13 Oct: The State Government will be organising training in maintenance and reparation of aircraft mechanical equipment to youths in rural areas.
Chief Minister, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said, the programme aims to give exposure to new careers as well as enhance the skills ability among youths.
“Not only does it provide additional skills, but it also helps to create job opportunities with a good income for the youth of Selangor.
“With the certificates they receive in the training, they would have the opportunity to work with aircraft maintenance companies,” he said.
He said this to TVSelangor after presenting the sacrificial cattle in a simple ceremony at the Kampung Pendamar Mosque today.
Elaborating, Abdul Khalid said that the State Government is working with a company from Switzerland for this purpose.
“The company from Switzerland will start operating in January next year.
“The company owns a building in Shah Alam and approval in relation to this training is expected to be approved by next November,” he explained.
He added that the State Government will deal with all village heads across Selangor to track youths with the potential to be developed in the programme.
“We will hold a meeting with all heads of villages so that these village heads can recommend youths who are still unemployed to be incorporated into the programme,” he said.
