The government’s national part-time workers programme employs nearly 18,000 individuals, 12,000 of whom are women. Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Sonia Parag, hailed the initiative as unmatched, given its impact in accelerating financial empowerment.
In this episode of Starting Point, she said the programme not only alleviates the pressures of the rising cost of living but also equips citizens with valuable skills while leading them towards permanent employment opportunities.
