Shortage of skilled transport workers

Transit transport facilities are ineffectively utilized in many developing countries due to an acute shortage of trained manpower at all levels. Where there are training programmes they lack an integrated approach encompassing all levels from the overall and top management to the middle and low-level operators, and regional specialized workshops and seminars held periodically for overall and top management and conducted at the country level are also marginal or non-existent. Training of instructors and provision for training materials have been neglected, aggravating the lack of skilled workers in the sector.
