AMMAN –– The Ministry of Labour is scheduled to launch a job fair on Monday to offer over 1,400 employment opportunities for job seekers in various sectors.
The four-day event will put those looking for employment face-to-face with employers, the ministry said on its website, urging job seekers to register for the fair through labour offices in the governorates.
The ministry said it will secure transportation for job seekers to the site of the fair, which will be held at the Amman employment office in Abdali near Parliament headquarters.
On the first day of the fair, those seeking jobs in the telecommunications and services sectors will be able to navigate through 435 available opportunities that include programming engineering, telecom engineering, information technology, human resources, auditing, project management, and sales and marketing.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the job fair will showcase 720 jobs available in the textile sector in the Dleil and Sahab industrial zones.
The last day of the event will focus on the hospitality sector, hotels and restaurants, where 274 vacancies are on offer, according to the ministry.
The ministry launched the National Employment Campaign in January last year with the goal of creating thousands of jobs for Jordanians in cooperation with the private sector.
More than 12,000 unemployed Jordanians were secured jobs during the first phase of the campaign, titled “We are all partners.”
The second stage of the campaign, launched on December 15 with the aim of creating 25,000 job opportunities in 11 sectors, was extended until further notice due to the “huge turnout” of job seekers.
