Jowai, Nov 11: Trained local youth should be given first preference for security jobs in cement factories in Jaintia Hills, instead of engaging people from outside the State.
The appeal was made by Managing Director of the MPSS-Security Agency Training Center, P. Muksor at the Pass Out Parade of the 16th Batch at Thadmuthlong-C (Phramer), West Jaintia Hills, today.
Muksor said the factories currently engage outsiders for security work, even as local youth are now trained and certified. He urged Umroi MLA Damanbait Lamare, who attended the event and others, to facilitate employment for the trained youths in cement factories, offices and hospitals.
Thirty-four trainees, including 22 males and 12 females, completed the 45-day training.
The Centre is recognised by the Home (Police) Department, Government of Meghalaya.
Lamare lauded Muksor for guiding youth towards employment and urged the trainees to maintain discipline and good conduct.
