“The job seekers who are registered at the platform are being updated about the jobs which suits for their qualification and those which are below their qualification. The job seekers have freedom to choose as per their qualification or those below it,” said Ibrahim.
For example, he said, a graduate in business management can choose a job which suits his degree or below it.
“I would like to explain that national employment platform (Kawader) informs about jobs offered, its nature and conditions for applying,” said Ibrahim.
Kawader is a flexible and easy way that enables job seekers to find job opportunities that match their qualifications and experiences in the government and private sectors, and link job nominations with the authorities directly to conduct personal interviews with job seekers without the need for the Ministry to intervene in the process of selecting the appropriate job and the entity.
The Ministry said that these procedures are carried out electronically, starting with creating a CV, registering, selecting the appropriate job, and conducting a personal interview by the body concerned, up to the acceptance and appointment.
The Ministry’s role through the Kawader platform is to coordinate with the authorities to provide and offer job opportunities, follow up the registration processes and creation of a CV, in addition to guiding and counseling job seekers, and following up and coordinating with employers regarding interviews and appointment.
