The funds available through the Employment and Vocational Training Account
[LAEK] of the Manpower Employment Organisation [OAED] were used to fi-
nance training seminars on the following: OHSAS 18001:2007/ELOT 18001:2008;
ISO 9001; ISO 14001; and Effective Negotiation Techniques.
In addition to our basic training plan,
in-house seminars and vocational
training programmes for skills devel-
opment are carried out. These are fi-
nanced through the funds available
from the Employment and Vocation-
al Training Account [LAEK] of the
Manpower Employment Organisa-
tion [OAED] and are held in our com-
panies’ offices, plants and construction
sites. In addition, paid educational
leave is granted to employees at-
tending long-term courses of study (at
the graduate or post-graduate level)
during the examination periods, to
help them prepare for their exams. In
line with its policy on education and
training, the Group also encourages
the participation of its employees in
external training seminars that help
them develop their professional skills,
and covers 100% of the relevant
training costs.
