Online pre-registration for S Korean jobs begins today
Online pre-registration for Bangladeshis who want to work in South Korea begins today and it will continue until January 17.
A total of 6,600 individuals on first-come, first-served basis can participate in the process, Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment Adviser Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury said at the press briefing yesterday.
A total of 2,073 people from Dhaka, 1,289 from Chittagong, 421 from Sylhet, 1,603 from Rajshahi, 781 from Khulna and 433 from Barisal divisions can pre-register at www.boesl.org.bd/kltprereg from 9:00am to 5:00pm. The division-wise quotas have been allocated based on each division's population.
Iftekhar said only job seekers between 18 and 39 years of age with knowledge of Korean language can pre-register. Those convicted by the state or deported from Korea will not be eligible for pre-registration.
The job seekers, who complete their pre-registration correctly, will be able to get registered from January 20 through January 22 for a Korean language test at BOESL (Bangladesh Overseas Employment Services Ltd). The test is scheduled to be held on February 22, and will be administered under supervision of Human Resources Department (HRD) of Korea in cooperation of BOESL.
A list of those who succeed in the test will be sent to the HRD of Korea, which will then be circulated among the Korean employers.
“Only those job seekers who are selected by the employers will get jobs in Korea,” Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury said, adding: “We are not aspiring to send a large number of people abroad, our emphasize being skill building and language training to help the job seekers get better jobs in European countries.”
When asked how many Bangladeshis could find employment in Korea this year, he said the number will depend on the success rate of the job seekers and choices of employers.
