Ethical Recruitment Appreciation Course for Labor Providers

Kathmandu, Nepal

The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Foundation will be hosting a training for labor providers in Nepal that are participating in its Responsible Recruitment Program (RRP).

The “Ethical Recruitment Appreciation Course” provides labor providers with foundational knowledge and tools to meet company expectations on forced labor in alignment with the RBA standards on forced labor. The course will help participants assess themselves against the RBA’s standards on forced labor and prepare action plans that identify internal policies, processes, systems and competencies that need to be in place to meet them.

This training is prioritized and mandatory for RRP participating labor providers that have not attended the training before. RRP participating labor providers in Nepal that had attended previous trainings in 2016 will be contacted separately to attend a refresher course.

This training is also open to other Nepali labor providers involved in recruiting foreign workers from Nepal to Malaysia and other destination countries but is subjected to wait-listing and approval. RBA/RLI member companies are encourage to nominate the labor providers in their supply chain that have not attended the training before to this two-day, immersive course.

Participants must be owners, managers, training officers, recruitment and selection officers or its equivalent. They are expected to share and cascade the learnings from the training after attending the course to other staff within their companies.
Approval for attending the course will be based on the following prioritization:

• 1st priority: RRP participants: New labor provider (company has not attended the training before) (2 seats)
• 2nd priority: RRP participants: Returning labor provider but new staff / staff has not attended previous training (1 seat)
• 3rd priority: Non-RRP participants: New labor provider (2 seats)
• 4th priority: Non-RRP participants: Returning labor provider but new staff / staff has not attended previous training (1 seat)

Individuals that have attended the training before in 2016 should not apply to attend this two full two-day course.
