Hamirpur, October 8, 2025. In a significant initiative aimed at providing overseas employment opportunities to the youth of Himachal Pradesh, Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has launched a special program through the Department of Labour and Employment and the Himachal Pradesh State Electronics Development Corporation (HPSEDC). This program ensures that young aspirants can pursue legitimate and safe employment opportunities abroad by adhering to all legal and international regulations — thereby protecting them from falling prey to fraudulent agents.
As part of this government initiative, a Foreign Recruitment and Employment Fair will be organized on Thursday at Government Polytechnic College, Baru. The fair will be inaugurated around 10 a.m. by Sunil Sharma Bittu, Political Advisor to the Chief Minister.
District Employment Officer Surender Sharma informed that candidates possessing a valid passport and registered through the provided Google Form (forms.gle/9ysKjwCB9rzpaq3H7) are eligible to participate. Selected candidates will be offered employment in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with a nominal processing fee of ₹30,000 plus GST.
The recruitment drive primarily targets employment in the construction sector, and no specific educational qualification is mandatory. The District Employment Officer also appealed to interested youth to carry their passports and necessary documents when attending the fair.
