In general, the Bill provides for the establishment and management of employment and training services for workers and self-employed in both the industrial and tertiary sectors.

In particular, the Bill provides for: the establishment of an independent structure to be known as the National Employment Authority; the creation of an Employment and Training Corporation that, on the one hand, is intended to fulfil the Constitutional provision for an employment service out of public funds and, on the other hand to ensure training, re-training, apprenticeship and traineeship schemes and services needed in many fields to enable workers and self-employed to obtain, develop, ameliorate or update skills and competence in work, as well as to assist those seeking employment.

The Bill also provides for: the regulation of employment agencies; labour market information, statistics and documentation; the Corporation's administrative and financial dispositions, the enabling power to make regulations and for offences and penalties for the non-observance of the relative provisions of this Bill.
