KRG to launch Job Portal for private sector employment opportunities
Musa outlined that the portal would serve as a central platform for employers to post job vacancies, allowing job seekers to browse positions aligned with their skills and experience.
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs is set to unveil a new online Job Portal on Sunday, designed to streamline the job search process and enhance access to employment opportunities for citizens across the Kurdistan Region. Deputy Director General of Labor and Social Security, Nazmi Musa, announced the launch, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at the Erbil International Fair hall in Sami Abdulrahman Park.
Musa outlined that the portal would serve as a central platform for employers to post job vacancies, allowing job seekers to browse positions aligned with their skills and experience. Initially, the portal will feature openings exclusively from the private sector, with future hopes to expand to public sector job listings as well.
"We aim to make this portal a comprehensive resource for job seekers in the Kurdistan Region,” Musa told Kurdistan24. “By collaborating with the Erbil Chamber of Commerce and Industry, we’ve introduced this platform to employers, facilitating job announcements and opportunities directly accessible to those seeking work."
The launch event will host approximately 50 private companies at the Erbil International Fair, where they will promote available positions on the portal. Attendees seeking employment will have the chance to interact with ministry representatives, who will be on-site to assist job seekers in creating free accounts to enable easy job searches.
The initiative reflects the Ministry’s ongoing commitment to enhancing employment accessibility and encouraging workforce development within the Kurdistan Region’s growing private sector.
