Hire Me to support 50,000 people to find jobs

Kathmandu, Jun 12

National Academy for Financial Services has launched Hire Me Nepal project with the aim of providing job to about 50,000 people in a year.

The project will collect the information of the eligible candidate through an online portal and provide it to the potential employer, including the Labour Information Bank of the government.

Nepalis in and out of the country can access the portal and enter the required information. “We aim to create a meeting point between the employer and the job seekers. It will be launched in the first week of the next fiscal year,” said Ramesh Kumar Bhattarai, President of the academy.

The project aims at updating the records of 500,000 citizens in the first year and 1 million in the second year. It will be launched in all provinces and promoted through a media campaign.

The company also aims to train the interested candidates at a minimal cost.

According to a rough estimate, about 2.5 million Nepalis will lose their jobs in and out of the country. To address the challenge, the government had announced a ‘Labour Information Bank’ in the budget of the next fiscal year.
