Hyderabad: Lack of professional skills in job seekers moving to Gulf for jobs, are being exploited at workplace believes NGO's Welfare Society. NGO's helping them to get job's in Gulf are of the opinion that they should be certified in various technical skills in order to work there. The first initiative taken up was by the YSR Government to help the job seekers with giving them training and certifying the candidates in various technical skills in order to get jobs in Gulf and it did so continued till Congress Government was in power said Ex- Minister Mohammed Shabbir Ali. He quoted saying "We trained about 10,000 workers in construction works, plumbing, electrical works, carpentry and others at National Academy of Construction. Labour without skills or those who were semi-skilled got professional with 4-month courses. The government released funds for accommodation and other expenses for trainees during the training period.

Based on these certificates, they got jobs in Gulf. The present government is neglecting such training programs." The government should establish a new body to train job seekers in Gulf says M. Kodandaram, Chairman of Telangana Joint Action Committee Welfare NGO's who are working towards the progress of job seekers in Gulf are warning them about the categories of visas and the local laws of the country they are moving to work with. President Shaik Chand Pasha of Welfare Members Society advises candidates to be cautious to not fall into traps of agents who would mousetrap them by offering 'Azad Visa's' which gives a permit to the worker to work for consistent two years. He continued "Azad visa is for poor Arabs who are willing to establish a small scale unit.
