The youth and sports parliamentary commission held yesterday a meeting to study the report prepared by Hicham Abu Jawdeh about the role of parliamentary commissions in creating job opportunities to Lebanese youth. The meeting was concluded by the adoption of a work methodology pursuant to the report.
The commission announced that the next meeting will be held on Thursday 24th of October, and will tackle the role of the National Employment Office (NEO), challenges which the office face, and ways develop and reinforce its work, particularly since his office, according to regulations, is responsible for developing public policies concerning the labor market and for creating new job opportunities in Lebanon.
It should be noted that the youth and sports parliamentary commission started working on preparing the above mentioned report, last June, in collaboration with UNDP, and had since organized a number of workshops in collaboration with the Parliament, and with the participation of heads and members of youth organisations. The final report was released last September.
