Romania is becoming a new and potential destination for Bangladeshi workers.
The country recently announced to employ 40,000 workers from Bangladesh.
The government is keen to realise the full potential by sending workers to the European country.
Meanwhile, Bangladeshi workers have started to leave country for Romania with little costs and easy visa process after getting work permits in the East European country.
A renowned recruiting agency Asia Continental Group (BD) sent nine Bangladeshi workers to the emerging and potential labour market on Saturday.
They are- Kamrul Hasan of Mymensingh, Mamunur Rahman, Limon Sardar, Bidyut, Shahadat Shahjahan, Mir Laden, Ariful Hasan Joy, Mehedi Hasan Fahad and Mohammad Al-Amin of Kishoreganj.
They will get USD 560 per month as wages.
“There are huge demands of Bangladeshi workers in the East European country as manpower from Romania left for developed part of Europe in past years,” Lokman Shah, Managing Director of Asia continental group said.
He said Romania is a very nice country enriched with its amazing natural landscapes. The country is full with huge natural resources and have easy access for Bangladeshi workers, Lokman Shah said.
It is a country of 92 thousand square miles where about 20 million people live.
Still Mills, Bakery factories, health sectors, agriculture sector, Information technology, construction, electronic, foods and other manufacturing factories need skilled workers. So, there are huge demands for Bangladeshi workers, a Managing Director of a recruiting agency said.
Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Imran Ahmed told The New Nation recently, “With Romania, East Europe is opening their door for Bangladeshi manpower. Bosnia, Croatia and other countries of this area are also potentials for our workers.”
The Minister said, “We will send our skilled workers there constantly and will expand markets continuously for our manpower.”
The Minister said that his Ministry is working with its utmost efforts to create vast market in the region as there are manpower shortages due to their people’s migrations to Western Europe’s richest zone.
