300,000 Jobs Being Prepared For Zimbabwean Graduates

The Deputy Minister for Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development Dr Godfrey Gandawa said they are in the process of creating a database of graduates for possible job replacements locally and abroad.

The government has signed exportation of labor agreements with several African countries and is inviting all those who graduated from tertiary college to forward their names for possible employment in those countries and locally.

The circulation of skilled labor will benefit Zimbabwe in the long run. “We are coming up with a policy as a Ministry to help our skilled manpower get jobs because there are countries with vacancies in various fields but our people do not have access to those vacancies out there, said Gandawa.

“The companies or governments employing will pay us if the policy comes to be, while workers will earn their salaries there. In that way the government will recoup it’s investment in human capital”, said the deputy Minister.

The database will help them track where all the graduates are and all graduates who graduated from colleges, teacher’s colleges and Universities should register with the Ministry. The registration forms are available at the Ministry’s head office in Harare or any University or college.
