KUCHING: A briefing on skill competency assessment programme for site supervisors and construction skilled workers organised by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) attracted 100 students and staff from the Pusat Pembangunan Kemahiran Sarawak (PPKS) and its subsidiary Automotive and Welding Institute of Sarawak (Awisar).
