The CNRA authorizes Interior, in consultation with the CNMI government, the Departments of Commerce and Labor, and members of the private sector, to establish a technical assistance program to promote the growth and diversification of the CNMI economy, the hiring of U.S.-eligible workers and the recruiting and training for jobs in the main industries.
“I believe that we can design technical assistance that will help creatively address the issues faced by employers and employees alike,” said Assistant Secretary Babauta. “This forum will be the opportunity for the people of the commonwealth to have an influence in the future of the territory’s economy as well as the employment outlook for U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents,” he added.
The forum will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 9, at the Fiesta Resort & Spa on Saipan from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
