The office of an institution named Industry Training Institute has been sealed following a raid by a joint monitoring team for unauthorized skill testing and certification.
The office of the Industry Training Institute has been sealed by a joint government monitoring team. This action comes after the institute, which only had permission to conduct skill training from CTEVT, was found to be performing unauthorized skill testing and certification.
A joint team, comprised of officials from the Ministry of Youth, Labor and Employment, the Ministry of Education and Sports, the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT), and the Department of Foreign Employment, carried out the inspection. During this visit, they sealed the institution’s office.
The monitoring was initiated following complaints that institution was issuing skill certification certificates in violation of set conditions, especially for workers planning to go abroad for employment. The team reported that institution has seriously violated existing laws and the terms of its operating permit.
During the inspection, it was discovered that the institution, despite having authorization only for skill training, was illicitly exercising the right to skill testing and certification, which belongs solely to CTEVT. Furthermore, the institute was also found to be offering training in subjects different from those mentioned in its initial permit.
The joint team has taken necessary documents and certificates from the institution into custody for further study and investigation. Authorities indicated that additional legal action will be take against the institution once these documents are thoroughly examined.
