KUWAIT CITY, Jan 15: Some of the conditions of employment as announced by the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) say the applicant should have graduated not more than 3 years and should not be working for any company and not making contribution to the social security as of Jan 14, 2020, reports Al-Rai daily.

This has caused widespread resentment to the point that the Union of Petroleum Workers has invited senior KPC officials for a meeting to reconsider some terms of the announcement. Kuwaitis wishing to work in KPC have expressed their anger calling the conditions for employment prohibitive, while oil sources added the announcement targets young graduates in light of the sector’s efforts to absorb the largest possible number of workers and not those who have a job and want to move to another job. The sources clarified that the purpose is to absorb new Kuwaiti graduates who do not have a job
