Jordan’s readymade garments sector is going to recruit over 12,000 skilled workers from Bangladesh in the next one year to boost their employment in the ailing sector.
“I would like to share a good news. Jordan’s RMG sector will recruit more than 12, 000 skilled labour from Bangladesh in one year,” Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen informed in a WhatsApp message on Tuesday.
“This recruitment will be processed only through BOESL (Bangladesh Overseas Employment Services Limited),” he said.
One of the employers in Jordan met officials at the Bangladesh Embassy there and his team will visit Bangladesh soon, he said.
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,” Momen told reporters.
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 workers are already working in Jordan’s readymade garment sector.
Earlier this month, Bangladesh Ambassador to Jordan Nahida Sobhan had visited the largest garments factory in Jordan and assured the Bangladeshi workers of Classic Fashion Apparels that the Embassy would always stand by them to ensure their rights and welfare.
