Government is inviting all those who graduated from tertiary colleges since 1980 to forward their names for possible employment in
several African countries with which it has signed agreements for labour exportation.
Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development Deputy Minister Dr Godfrey Gandawa said yesterday that a database of the graduates was being created for possible job placements both abroad and locally when opportunities arise.
He said the Government would financially benefit from the arrangement as the receiving countries would pay a certain amount, as well as cater for the welfare of the exported staff.
The development was well-received by teachers' unions who said apart from commercially benefiting the Government, the move was a promotion of "brain circulation" on the continent.
