ALI along with the industrialists announced, today two hundred new job opportunities.

The job description of the required professions will be posted on the ministry’s and the association’s websites.

The minister called on workers not to waste any job opportunity. “Employment opportunities are equal to all those who apply; to employers I say that they should follow up to secure new job opportunities.”

“We are ready to support the companies in entering news markets and negotiate with the counterparts. The quality of local production is improving, and we ask institutions to support workers, especially in the productive field,” Hoballah said.
