BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 6. The matter of employment in the liberated territories of Azerbaijan is considered by the State Employment Agency under the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Population in two main directions, the agency’s Board Chairman Mustafa Abbasbayli told Trend.
According to Abbasbayli, the first direction is the role of the agency in providing employment for citizens who return to Karabakh within the framework of the ‘Great Return’ program.
"For the first time started providing employment for our former IDPs in Aghali village of Zangilan district. Before employing citizens, we studied their capabilities and skills and provided relevant jobs. Similar work will be carried out as part of the entire process return of citizens to the liberated territories," he said.
Speaking about the second direction, the official noted that it has to do with citizens who have already been involved in labor activities in the liberated territories.
"A new approach will also be applied here, which is currently being actively discussed by our agency and the ministry. For all employers who create jobs in Karabakh, the search for employees is expected to be carried out using a single electronic platform. It’s assumed that this will be an existing ‘Bank of vacancies’,” Abbasbayli explained.
“This will help in selection of personnel in accordance with the market requirements of a particular region. At the same time, we don’t exclude attracting foreign personnel to work," he added.
