In order to upgrade and expand staff skills and capacities, the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) is holding an interactive forum for stakeholders in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, tomorrow.
The Tide gathered that the forum is to update and strengthen human capital development and add additional skills for staff.
The interactive forum with the theme: “Up-skilling and Re-skilling the workforce for result-oriented performance in the post pandemic era, the role of ITF”, is being organised by the Rumuokwuta Area office of the ITF.
Sources at the organisation disclosed that the forum is expected to present an opportunity to receive objective and sincere feedbacks from stakeholders, companies and other clients.
The Tide gathered that the mechanism adopted by ITF has over the years assisted the training fund in reshaping its policies and strategy directions.
ITF was established four decades ago and has pursued vigorously its mandate.
The organisation has not only raised training consciousness in the economy but has also helped in generating a corp of skilled indigenous manpower which has been mining and managing various sectors of the national economy.
It has expanded its structures, developed training programmes, reviewed its strategies, operations and service in order to meet the expanding and changing demands for skilled manpower in the economy.
