The State witnessed a large-scale influx of workers from the Gulf countries who now face bleak future after losing their livelihood. The government, through AP Non-Resident Telugu Society (APNRTS), plans to help them find suitable jobs. “We plan technical trade job melas where clients from the Gulf will be invited to interview and assess local candidates for suitable jobs,” said Venkat S. Medapati, president of the society. “We facilitate placements and along with the recruiters, arrange client interviews for the Gulf placements,” he said, adding that so far, 81 % of the 270 candidates trained in industrial electrician course, had found placements while the remaining ones were under process. “We have also organised online training for NRIs in advanced courses like AWS, Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, PMP, Data Science with Machine Learning and Python which were availed by 412 NRTs,” said Mr. Venkat.
