On December 18, a job fair held at the IT Park in Dushanbe saw over 300 individuals secure employment opportunities. Organized by 75 enterprises and organizations, the event offered a total of 4,810 job vacancies.
The job fair was part of the International Migrant Day celebrations and was initiated by the Ministry of Labor, Migration, and Employment of the Population of Tajikistan (MoLMEP).
According to the Minister of Labor, Migration, and Employment, Ms. Soleha Kholmahmadzoda, the primary goal of the fair was to create employment opportunities, support migrant workers and returnees, and introduce new job prospects within the country.
The Minister emphasized the importance of reducing labor migration by creating quality jobs domestically. She also highlighted that the Ministry of Labor would continue organizing job fairs, as these events help develop the labor market, generate new employment, and protect the rights of migrant workers. These initiatives contribute to reducing migration and encourage citizens to seek stable employment within Tajikistan.

Job seekers were given the opportunity to interact directly with employers, gaining detailed information about working conditions, salary levels, working hours, social benefits, and career growth prospects. At the same time, specialists provided free legal consultations on safe migration, legal employment practices, and services available through government programs.
