Presently, the government, through the Bureau of Foreign Employment, conducts training courses for domestic workers, prior to their departure. This assessment was undertaken to identify the existing gaps and shortcomings in these courses, and provide recommendations to upgrade the courses to meet international standards. Major findings are the non uniformity of such training courses, the non provision of training materials, the absence of systematic training for trainers, and lack of training on safe migration awareness. Recommendation include separation of training courses into regions and countries, care giving courses to be distinct from domestic worker courses and rectifying the identified shortcomings given above. It was also recommended that information needs relating to pre departure, post arrival, return and reintegration under identified headings, be provided to both the migrant and the families. |
