Foreign-educated Mongolians beckoned home

A job fair for Mongolians educated abroad was held at the Chinggis Khaan Hotel in Ulaanbaatar on September 13 and 14. Entitled “Labor Fair 2011,” the event was organized by the National Committee for Employment Support and a Mongolian-German NGO called A Bridge between Mongolia and Germany.

Many young people who were educated abroad and have work experience abroad attended the job fair. Some said they were considering seeking employment outside Mongolia again because the wages are better abroad.

N.Enkh-Erdene is the head of a council that is working to bring Mongolians who are studying or working abroad back home. He says preliminary figures suggest some 40,000 new jobs will be created in Mongolia by 2015.

Among the organizations looking to hire at the fair were Oyutolgoi LLC, Mongolian Railway, Unitel, Mobicom, Monnis, Wagner Asia, Mongolian Gold, Monos Group, the Trade and Development Bank, and XacBank. An Oyutolgoi spokesperson said the company 40 openings in engineering, foreign relations, and administration.
