Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has directed authorities to take action to prevent forgery and use of fake skills training certificates in order to protect Bangladesh’s reputation in the global labour market. He said that while there is strong global demand for Bangladeshi workers, the reputation of the country’s workforce is being harmed due to forged certificates and fraudulent practices in skills training. He made the remarks on Sunday while presiding over a meeting of the Governing Body of the National Skills Development Authority (NSDA) at the Chief Adviser’s Office in Tejgaon, Dhaka. Warning that skills development initiatives would fail if employers lose confidence, he stressed that all forms of certificate forgery must be stopped. Emphasizing the importance of building the country’s brand image, the Chief Adviser said employers should be able to say with confidence that workers coming from Bangladesh will perform well.
