Job Fair Triumph in Rangpur: Connecting Community Paramedics with Employment Opportunities

Following a successful job fair in Sylhet, Shomvob Jobs hosted another event on July 6th, 2024, at the RDRS Guest House in Rangpur. In our country, where job opportunities are limited despite many skilled individuals, job fairs like these are crucial for bridging the gap and helping job seekers overcome significant challenges. Recognizing this need, the fair specifically focused on creating job opportunities for primary healthcare workers, particularly Community Paramedics. Shomvob Jobs, in collaboration with ASTHA-Swisscontact, took a significant step towards improving healthcare in Rangpur and surrounding areas by organizing this event. The Civil Surgeon of Rangpur, Dr. Md. Wazed Ali, was present at the event as the chief guest. He emphasized the importance of investing in trained healthcare personnel who possess practical knowledge, highlighting the need to employ skilled healthcare workers. Dr. Ali also emphasized the significance of placing Community Paramedics in various sectors to enhance healthcare services effectively. Dr. Md. Ruhul Amin, Deputy Civil Surgeon of Rangpur, also attended as a special guest and expressed optimism regarding the job prospects for Community Paramedics. He emphasized his belief that these healthcare professionals would secure positions that match their skills and qualifications. The event featured participation from over 250 Community Paramedics and 16 healthcare organizations, including prominent names such as Labaid Limited, Update Diagnostic, Renaissance Hospital, Social Development Rural Society (SRDS), and others. After completing secondary school (SSC), individuals undergo a two-year full-time ‘Community Paramedic’ course, which includes a six-month internship at a recognized public hospital. Graduates are designated as Community Paramedics. Oversight of the Community Paramedic course is provided by the Bangladesh Nursing and Midwifery Council. In addition to independently providing healthcare services, Community Paramedics actively participate in local government healthcare initiatives. Farzana Amin, Team Leader of the ASTHA Team at Swisscontact Bangladesh, was present and shared her enthusiasm: “We are proud to contribute to the development of the healthcare sector through this fair. Our collaboration with Shomvob Jobs is making a real difference by providing platforms for Community Paramedics to find career opportunities.”Hasibur Rahman, Co-founder and COO of Shomvob Jobs, focused on the importance of such job fairs: “These job fairs are not only vital for connecting job seekers with potential employers but also play a crucial role in helping candidates present themselves professionally. By assisting job seekers in creating professional CVs, we enhance their chances of securing employment and advancing their careers.” One of the job seekers, who is a newly certified Community Paramedic, shared her experience from the job fair: “Finding a job after completing my course was challenging. This job fair gave me hope and the opportunity to meet multiple employers at one place. Shomvob’s assistance in creating my CV was invaluable. I am optimistic about securing a position in the healthcare industry soon.” This job fair underscores the significant role such events play in tackling unemployment and enhancing healthcare services in Bangladesh. Moving forward, they plan to organize similar job fairs in various districts across the country, ensuring broader reach and impact. With numerous job-offers likely resulting from the fair, the event marked a substantial step towards improving employment rates and healthcare quality in the Rangpur region and beyond.
