At this time, the need for the services of care officers has increased, but since it has been observed that the number of officers currently working in the care officer service has decreased, the National Institute of Labor Studies has taken steps to initiate a certificate course for care officers.
This will be very useful for officers who are currently working in the care officer service and those who are aspiring to join the care officer service.
Steps will be taken to provide knowledge and understanding of the laws and regulations of the government and the private sector and to enhance practical skills.
