The Secretariat of State for Professional Training and Employment (SEFOPE), through the National Directorate for Employment and jointly with the Australian Embassy and the International Labour Organization (ILO), has organized a workshop on the 26th and 27th of May, from 9am to 4 pm, at the Arbiru hotel.

It is SEFOPE’s understanding that creating jobs is a national priority.

Relating demand with the employment needs that Timor-Leste faces, the Government, through SEFOPE, creates a policy or strategy that may respond rapidly to the workers’ concerns.

With this workshop it is intended to discuss the strategy for creating more jobs in Timor-Leste. The participants must have this in consideration and share ideas regarding creating options to combat the constraints that are found.

The data resulting from this workshop will be a part of the draft for the National Strategy for Employment.
