The Bangladesh Overseas Employment and Services Limited (BOESL) starts sending 72 women workers to Jordan at zero migration cost in the RMG sector from on 31 December 2023.
The first batch of 72 workers will go to the Jordan with jobs.
The woman workers will be sent through the Bangladesh Overseas Employment and Services Limited (BOESL), the only state-backed recruitment agency.
Jordan will hire woman Bangladeshi workers for its RMG sector through BOESL with a view to ensure safe and orderly migration, BOESL managing director Dr Mallick Anwar Hossain said.
Besides, they have received a demand order for an estimated workers who will also go to the job destination country gradually.
Expatriates’ welfare and overseas employment ministry disclosed this in a press statement.
The BOESL has so far received demand notes for workers from various companies.
Of them, workers have been selected randomly from the Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET) database and job fairs.
But the outflow of workers through private recruiters has still remained slow due to different complexities, including alleged syndication in the process.
Against this backdrop, Jordan has introduced ‘Special Recruitment Project’ to hire workers under the government-to-government arrangement
through the state-owned recruitment agency along with private recruiters.
Jordan migrant worker Kulsum Khatun said, woman migrants will lead solvent life after going to Jordan.
