Declaring open the two-day workshop for prospective retirees from the State House, the Permanent Secretary, Mr Jalal Arabi, said that the training was also designed to prepare them mentally and psychologically for retirement.
"This is in the firm belief that adequate planning for retirement will make life after retirement more attractive.''
According to Arabi, the overall aim of the Presidency is to ensure that all its employees undergo pre-retirement training at least three to four years before retirement.
