He said that labour volunteers must have the knowledge to respond to the needs of the people in the community, to be timely, accurate, and up to date with the workforce situation. Labour volunteers are those who are responsible for publicizing labour missions for agencies under the Ministry of Labour, through dedication and sacrificing their personal time for the government.
