Construction courses in limbo over funds
TAWAU July 25, 2012: The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) has been urged not to stop funding courses for youths to become skilled construction workers.
Syarikat Putra Muhamiru, which handles the intake of trainees for courses conducted by Akademi Binaan Malaysia (ABM), said most youths in rural areas are unemployed and unable to pay for the courses.
In view of this, the company hopes the fund from CIDB will not be discontinued to ensure more local youths could be trained to join the industry.
