Making such infrastructure must certainly have a reasonable level of competence. One of them is an expert in the field of water resources. In addition, infrastructure in the transportation sector must be optimally provided, both roads and vehicles.
Syarif Burhanuddin also added that the community must strengthen every existing potential in the country to improve competitiveness. The benefits from what is being built at this time may only be derived the next ten years.
Therefore, Higher Education and High School equivalent can link and match for the competency tests. The experts produced will be given a certificate so that they can work immediately. “At present the world of work requires not only diplomas but also specialties. A diploma is not asked in Dubai, but what competency one has”, he explained.[PR Team]
