Generation Start-up: how Eduployment aims to upskill blue-collar workers to get fair jobs – The National

UAE-based start-up Eduployment is seeking to provide blue-collar workers with skills to help them gain access to legitimate jobs and connect employers with qualified labour, while sidestepping potential recruitment fraud risks.

The global online recruitment start-up teaches blue-collar workers English language skills and matches them with prospective employers offering work, a safe environment and fair wages via its app, says Mazen Omair, the co-founder and chief executive of Eduployment.

The tech start-up aims to uplift workers and their families trapped in a cycle of unemployment, debt and poverty by arming them with the right skills to access job opportunities online, he says.
