The Public Authority of Manpower has suspended the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Kuwait Society of Engineers, granting KSE the authority to approve engineering certificates, local Arabic papers All Rai and Al Jarida reported.
According to report, this decision came after numerous complaints received by the Manpower Authority from companies, business owners, and employees regarding the accreditation procedures.
In the year 2018 PAM signed an MoU with KSE by which KSE is the sole authority to approve engineering certificates, verify professional expertise for expatriate workers, and certify job titles related to engineering roles for individuals seeking employment in government or private sectors.
However, the report not yet announced the new procedures for certificate approval and is speculated that the Ministry of Higher Education may be chosen for this purpose similar to other professions.
