Hundreds of thousands of people look for employment opportunities in Nepal every year.

Many companies in the country are demanding employees but they are not able to get employees as per the requirement. Similarly, on the other hand, people who are looking for employment opportunities are not able to apply and get in touch with companies.

The government and other stakeholders will work on the needs of employers and job seekers.
