Jordanian Minister of Labour Nayef Steitieh revealed that the grant of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani provided 9,100 jobs for Jordanians in the Qatari market, indicating that this grant was reactivated at the beginning of this year, and aims to provide Jordanians with 20,000 job opportunities, in two phases.
In a press statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA), the Jordanian minister said that 2,400 Jordanians have obtained job opportunities in the Qatari labour market within the framework of the job allocation grant during the current year, stressing that this opens new horizons for the Jordanian workforce and talents to work in the Qatari market, which is distinguished with its job security. He appreciated Qatar’s efforts in attracting Jordanian talents from various domains and specialisations.
Moreover, Steitieh stressed that these jobs have attracted many Jordanian talents across many fields and professions, be it in nursing, vehicle maintenance, or the service sector, among others, noting that work is underway in Jordan to study and analyse the required skills and future needs of Qatar; to qualify the Jordanian workforce to be further integrated into the Qatari labour market.
In addition, the Jordanian minister pointed out that the platform dedicated to attracting Jordanian workers to Qatar is an important and appreciated initiative from His Highness the Amir, in light of the brotherly and deep relations between the two countries.
Steitieh hoped for the continuity of this agreement on the widest scale, due to the importance of the Qatari market for Jordan.
Steitieh praised the role of the Qatari embassy in the Jordanian capital, Amman, in facilitating the paperwork and visa application process, for Jordanians applying to work in Qatar.
The Qatari jobs platform launched in Jordan is keen to attract Jordanian competencies wishing to work in Qatar within a 20,000 job vacancies window, and in two phases: the first phase consists of candidates submitting their job applications on the online platform https://sajjil.gov.jo followed by the second phase in which successful applicants will be selected by Qatar-based companies and the private sector, in partnership with the Chambers of Industry and Commerce.
