The initiative aims to solve problems and meet the needs of people through the integration of service and activities of agencies under the Ministry of Labour in the province, to serve the people in local areas. This will expand opportunities for employment, enhance professional skills for career choice, provide advice on labour law and social security, including publicizing labour documents to people in the community to ensure everyone receives labour services from agencies under the Ministry of Labour thoroughly. Labour volunteers are a key driving force for the Ministry of Labour’s missions.”

It provides additional knowledge that is useful to the labour volunteer networks and department officials under the Ministry of Labour, about the mission and labour information, including the prevention and resolution of forced labour, human trafficking, and child labour. It aims to create more efficient labour services and integration between agencies under the Ministry of Labour and labour volunteer networks.
