सुरक्षित बैदेशिक रोजगारीको लागि अभिमूखिकरण तालिम | Orientation class for migrant Nepali workers

Every year, more than half-a-million youths leave Nepal in search of greener pastures abroad. And along with the rise in the number of these outbound youths, various factors, including the misuse of pre-departure orientation certificates, deplorable conditions of authorised centres and the rising trend among workers to adopt shortcuts, have left a large section of the Nepali migrant workers vulnerable to adversities in overseas employment. Around five years ago, the government had decided to start a two-day mandatory pre-departure course for prospective migrant workers with a view to providing them with all the information and instructions they would need once they land in foreign countries. The orientation programme is aimed at equipping the youths with all the information to ease their transition to their destination countries. However, the programme has not fared well as one single syllabus is used for all workers, irrespective of their jobs and the country they head for. “The course is designed with the mindset that every individual going overseas is a blue collar worker,” said Kuber Nepal, who will be flying to the Gulf to work in the aviation sector. “It is a wastage of time and money for people like me.” Moreover, a majority of the orientation centres do not follow the guidelines set by the Department of Foreign Employment (DoFE). It was found during a recent surprise check carried out by the Department in various authorised centres that half of them did not followed the guidelines. The government has approved 88 such orientation centres and is planning to add 12 more within a month. In addition, many prospective migrants do not join the classes as they are not aware of the importance of the orientation. As all the orientation centres are in the Capital, most aspiring migrant workers come from poor families in districts across the country and cannot afford to stay in Kathmandu for long. As such, they rely on middlemen who provide them with the orientation certificates without taking the classes.
