ArcelorMittal Liberia (AML) has completed job-readiness assessments for 218 residents from communities bordering its operations in Grand Bassa County.
The assessments, conducted using the Learning Ability Battery (LAB) framework, mark the conclusion of another recruitment cycle aimed at integrating local talent into the company's workforce.
