WEC to Provide Training, Jobs for Egyptian Workers in Coordination with Labour Ministry, Says Member

-El Darwy: Exporting Egyptian workers to the EU for companies accredited by the WEC

Mohamed El Darwy, a member of the Board of Directors of the World Employment Confederation (WEC) emphasized the importance of cooperation with the Egyptian Ministry of Labour and opening communication channels to support workers at all levels. 

The WEC member noted that the confederation will work to provide training and jobs for Egyptian workers in the countries in which it operates, in coordination with the Ministry of Labour.

This came during his attendance at a meeting held at the Egyptian mission headquarters in Geneva on the sidelines of the113th Session of the International Labour Conference with Bettina Schaller, President of the World Employment Confederation, and her accompanying delegation, as well as Egyptian Minister of Labour Mohamed Gebran.

El Darwy indicated that the WEC and the Ministry of Labour will draft a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to define areas of cooperation between the two parties during the coming period, particularly with regard to benefiting from Egypt's export of qualified and skilled workers, particularly to European Union (EU) for companies accredited by the the confederation. 

He emphasized that the Egyptian Labour market is promising and can meet the needs of several global Labour markets. He pointed out that there is a great demand from international companies to invest in Egypt, which will lead to higher growth rates and the creation of serious job opportunities, leading to a decrease in unemployment rates.

"Seeing unemployment rates drop is a strategic goal that the International Labour Organization (ILO) seeks to achieve in cooperation with international partners around the world," he concluded, stressing the importance of adapting Labour markets to modern work patterns.
