Industry demands training programs for youths in Goa for Mopa Jobs

New Delhi, May 10 (KNN) The Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) and the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM)are demanding for local employment at the new Greenfield international airport that’s set to come up in Mopa soon.

GCCI’s past president and MSME national council chairman Manguirish Pai Raikar told the media that the association wants technical institutes and polytechnics in the state.

The association wants to introduce courses that will train Goan youth with right skill set and prepare them for the jobs that will be made available once the airport comes up, he added.

“This initiative will definitely create more opportunities for entrepreneurship and employment of students, who otherwise migrate for jobs,” Raikar said.

Talking about Greenfield International Airport at Mopa, he said that this will not only generate direct employment but also generate indirect businesses like taxi services, catering and hospitality.
