It was emphasized that the training services offered by the Observatory comply with international standards. During the meeting, attendees raised questions regarding employee assessment exams, the identification of training needs, personnel evaluation processes, workload analysis, and the application of competency model in the training system.
The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation in labour market analysis, social protection, and professional development. Both sides expressed their intent to expand collaboration to address emerging challenges and foster mutual growth in these critical areas.
