Attending the program as a special guest BGMEA President Faruque Hassan expressed his thanks to the EPB and BUFT for taking the timely initiative of skills development courses for mid-level managers working in garment factories.

He stated that there was a visible shortage of skilled employees, particularly at the mid-level management section, in the RMG sector of the country and it’s a demand of time to finally address this issue with due importance.

He said against the backdrop of steep competition in the apparel industry, productivity improvement is an important strategic tool to retain competitiveness in the world market alongside maintaining the market. One of the best options to enhance productivity is to make the workers skilled by imparting them the necessary training, Faruque Hassan added.
