Qatar Provides 3,000 Additional Job Opportunities for Afghans

For the second time, Qatar has announced 3,000 job opportunities for Afghan workers.

These workers will be registered in 23 different professions across the country’s 34 provinces, and after completing the official procedures through the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, they will be deployed.

In Charikar, the provincial center of Parwan, dozens of young people stood in line to register in hopes of being selected to work in Qatar.

Shafiur Rahman, a resident of Parwan, said: “Fortunately, we have reached the first stage. God willing, we will find work there. We are going for labor and livelihood. I rely on God. I have been to Iran and Turkey as well, but they sent me back. I hope this will be a good opportunity for me.”

Another Parwan resident, Mohibullah, said: “I came here to register. If a chance for work abroad is given to us, it will be very good. I am pleased with the Islamic Emirate, as the process here is going smoothly.”

The head of the Parwan Department of Labor and Social Affairs said that of the 3,000 job opportunities, only 400 will be allocated to workers from this province.

Qudratullah Zakir, head of the Parwan Labor and Social Affairs Department, added: “In 13 fields we have 400 candidates registering. Currently, there is a big turnout, and many people have come. The demand is high. We are trying to carry out the registration process in an orderly manner.”

Previously, Qatar had also announced 2,000 job opportunities for Afghan workers.
