Middle East country Jordan , on its readymade garments (RMG) sector will recruit over 12,000 skilled workers from Bangladesh in one year Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen confirmed on Tuesday.
“This recruitment will be processed only through Bangladesh Overseas Employment and Services Limited (BOESL),” he told UNB on Tuesday.
One of the employers in Jordan met officials at Bangladesh Embassy there and his team will visit Bangladesh soon.
They have requested Bangladesh to allow recruitment of skilled workers who do not have passports, and facilitate providing the selected workers with passports in the shortest possible time.
“This is a good opportunity opening for us,” Dr Momen said.
Officials said they will do their best in processing and facilitating passports and other requirements for sending the workers in shortest possible time.
Bangladesh is one of the largest exporters of readymade garment products in the world.
A number of Bangladeshi RMG workers are already working in Jordan’s readymade garment sector.
