A Guide to Overseas Employment: From Multan to the Middle East

Your Journey to an International Career Starts Here

For many skilled technicians in Pakistan, working abroad offers a life-changing opportunity for financial growth and professional development. Countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are hubs of massive industrial and construction projects, and they are constantly seeking skilled workers. But how do you make the leap? This guide outlines the path, which we facilitate at our overseas employment division.

Step 1: Get the Right Skill and Certification

First and foremost, you need a skill that is in demand. Trades like welding, pipefitting, and electrical work are always sought after. However, just having the skill isn't enough. You need formal, recognized certification. A certificate from a government-accredited institute like Ashtar Trade Test & Technical Training Centre proves to international employers that your skills meet their standards. Explore all our courses to find the right fit for you.

Step 2: Prepare Your Documents

This is a critical step. You will need:
- A professional CV/Resume that highlights your skills and experience.
- Attested educational and technical certificates.
- A valid passport with at least 1-2 years of validity.
- Professional, passport-sized photographs.

Our team at Ashtar TTC assists you in preparing a complete and professional file to present to employers.

Step 3: The Trade Test and Interview

Most overseas employers will require a practical trade test to verify your skills. This is where our hands-on training gives you an edge. You will perform a test in your trade (e.g., a specific welding joint) under the supervision of the employer's representative. This is followed by a formal interview. We conduct mock interviews and extensive practical sessions to ensure you are confident and prepared.

Step 4: Visa Processing and Deployment

Once you pass the test and receive a job offer, the visa process begins. This involves a medical examination, visa stamping, and other formalities. Our overseas employment division guides you through this entire process, ensuring all paperwork is correct and submitted on time. We also provide pre-departure briefings to prepare you for your new life and work environment abroad.
