One of the most significant causes of unemployment is low literacy, particularly among females who are disproportionately affected by this issue. In Ethiopia, a majority of females aged 15 and above lack basic literacy skills. However, its important to note that there are also highly skilled and professional female employees who face challenges in finding suitable job opportunities.
Alongside job opportunities that do not require advanced literacy, such as positions like maids, housekeepers, adult caregivers, nannies, special needs caregivers, cleaners, waitresses, there is also a demand for professional female employees in various fields. These fields may include areas such as education (Female Tutors), healthcare (Private nurses), finance (Accounting and Finance), Hospitality (Receptionist), Sales, Marketing and more.
The challenge lies in the absence of a widespread system or platform that effectively advertises and connects both low-literacy job opportunities and professional job opportunities for female employees. This gap in the market makes it difficult for employers to easily access and connect with a diverse range of job seekers, including both those with basic literacy skills and those with professional expertise.
In this era of information and technology, online platforms have become the preferred method for hiring employees compared to traditional methods. Employers are seeking simplified and efficient ways to find and hire qualified candidates based on their specific requirements and preferences. Emebet is a platform that caters to the needs of both low-literacy job seekers and professional female employees, to bridge the gap and provide equal opportunities for all.
