00:00 The fifth edition of the Forum for Job Opportunities concluded in Damascus with the participation
00:05 of more than 120 companies from various fields of expertise, an event aimed at opening the
00:11 work horizon for young Syrians suffering the aftermath of long years of war and a Western
00:16 economic blockade.
00:17 Our correspondent in Damascus, Hisham Wanous, with the details.
00:23 The Forum, sponsored by the Syrian Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, sought to ensure
00:30 job opportunities for all sectors of Syrian society, particularly for young graduates
00:36 in various fields such as education, medicine, engineering, industry, chemistry, food, technology,
00:44 insurance and shipping, among others.
00:50 This event saves us time and effort and represents available help to young people, especially
00:55 those who are beginners, who do not know where to go and have no contacts, so that in this
01:00 venue they find various job opportunities and learn new things.
01:03 They even have the opportunity to improve their professional skills in forums and events
01:08 like this one.
01:09 Through this forum, we seek to guarantee the maximum number of job opportunities for recent
01:16 graduates in order to include them in the labor market, as well as to help companies
01:20 and enterprises to find specialized and active personnel for the available vacancies, in
01:26 addition to guiding and helping young job seekers through qualification and training
01:31 workshops that we develop in this forum.
01:38 The event provides a platform for direct contact between business owners and job applicants,
01:42 a space that contributes to attracting caters of different specialties in order to qualify
01:46 and train them to be part of the revitalization of the economic activity and the process of
01:51 recovery and reconstruction of the country.
01:57 Here we promote the culture of searching for a job and ways to improve the work skills
02:02 of individuals so that they have a better chance to find a job in the current difficult
02:06 economic circumstances that the country is going through, because we are in the post-war
02:11 recovery phase and every person must develop their skills to find a job and go on in the
02:16 new stages of their lives.
02:20 This forum is an opportunity for us to get to know the different companies up close and
02:25 to be aware of all the job opportunities offered by these companies in the different fields,
02:30 such as communication, press, education and others, because all the participating companies
02:37 are here to help us achieve our career aspirations.
02:42 Syria suffered great economic losses due to the terrorist war and the economic blockade
02:46 imposed by foreign countries.
02:50 In order to overcome the damage, the nation's authorities are relying mainly on the youth,
02:56 who in forums like this consolidate their active participation as the driving force
03:00 of the Syrian labor market.
