The government has intensified efforts to transform foreign employment from a compulsion into an option, in line with its fiscal policy and programmes.
The government has continued implementing its action plan to put into practice the ‘Employment Promotion Decade (2083–2092 BS)’ announced in the policy and programme for the current fiscal year 2026/27.
According to a press note issued by the Secretariat of the Office of the Prime Minister, in line with its policy objective of creating an environment where the energy and skills of the country’s youth can be utilised within the country, the Ministry of Youth, Labour and Employment is organising a seven-day Skills and Employment Fair in Itahari, Koshi Province, from September 30 to October 6.
The Ministry has already begun work to expand the campaign nationwide by issuing the ‘Skills and Employment Fair Operation Guidelines, 2083,’ according to Assistant Spokesperson Jagadish Parajuli of the Ministry of Youth, Labour and Employment.
As part of the initiative, an instruction and coordination committee has been formed under the coordination of the Minister for Labour, while overall management of the fair is being carried out in collaboration with provincial governments, local levels and district administrations, added Parajuli.
The fair will feature stalls from the private sector, industries and enterprises, training providers, development partners and the Social Security Fund, among others. It aims to identify the actual workforce demands of employers and connect jobseekers with employment opportunities matching their qualifications, skills and interests, as well as provide access to skills testing, training, career counselling and entrepreneurship services.
Through these initiatives, the government is advancing concrete measures to increase employment opportunities within the country, in line with the objectives outlined in its policy and programme.
