The event includes a series of capacity-building sessions aimed at equipping participants with practical skills to enter the labor market.
Organizers said strong participation marked the opening day, with companies from Mosul and surrounding districts presenting what they described as real, accessible job opportunities. The fair is being held at Ashur Mall in central Mosul and is expected to result in up to 200 hires.
Rwanga representatives told Shafaq News that more than 1,000 job seekers applied on the first day, noting that the fair aims to reduce unemployment and encourage youth to pursue opportunities in the private sector amid limited public-sector hiring.
Educational institutions also took part, offering guidance and professional support to graduates seeking to enter key fields. One participant expressed relief at finally finding a viable job opportunity through the fair.
Founded in 2013 by Idris Nechirvan Barzani, Rwanga is a nonprofit organization based in the Kurdistan Region. Initially focused on improving children’s education, its work has expanded to include economic development, youth empowerment, environmental protection, and humanitarian aid. The foundation also advances climate action through local initiatives that support its environmental objectives.
