Private companies were earlier reluctant to take many citizens on their rolls but they have been reacting positively after the Ministry asked them to reserve 20 percent jobs for citizens.
“They know we are serious and they know the repercussions of ignoring the Cabinet directive,” the spokesman said. They could face problems in getting work visas.
No wonder the companies have started reacting positively if they have no choice because of the 'repercussions'!
Private companies argue that citizens do not have the required qualifications to work with them. “This is just an excuse. What we tell them is train educated citizens so they can work with you.”
Yeah, lovely idea, but surely some of the onus has to be on the citizens to gain the correct qualifications. You can't expect a company to spend years training someone for a job which they'd normally employ a graduate with a relevant degree for.
