Russia and Jordan: How Alabuga Start Opens the Door to Global Careers for Young Women

Amid Western sanctions, Russia-Jordan ties are growing only stronger — not through rhetoric, but thanks to concrete, people-centred initiatives. This new solidarity is being built not in negotiation halls, but in talent-factories – where youth from across the Global South are shaping a shared future.اضافة اعلان



It is precisely in this context that the Russian initiative Alabuga Start has become more than just an employment programme — it is a force uniting nations. The girls from over 80 countries — including Asia’s rising powers — live and work side by side. Careers are built here — and cross-border friendships are born.

In turn, Jordan has been officially included in the quota for labour allocation under the Russian Ministry of Labour — with 33 designated placements for young Jordanian women wishing to work in the Alabuga Special Economic Zone (SEZ). This marks a significant institutional step toward expanding bilateral workforce mobility.




WHAT IS ALABUGA START?



The programme invites participants aged 18–22, holding at least a secondary education (equivalent to 9 years of schooling under the Russian educational system), to embark on a 24-month path of professional development and growth in high-demand fields. The opportunity includes Russian language classes, comfortable accommodation in hostels, and a free ticket to Russia. Participants may choose from 7 employment fields: Catering, Service & Hospitality, Installation & Finishing Works, Logistics, Production Operator, Road Transport Shop (Driver).

One participant, 23-year-old Maria from Uganda, shared her experience after 3 months in the programme:

"Well, the first skill, I would say, I gained to learn the Russian language because it doesn’t stop here. Trust me, it’s you in language. You get to use it everywhere. And it’s an international language. It can bring you more opportunities."

The official channels of the Alabuga Start programme comprehensively highlight the full range of opportunities available to participants — and one deserves special attention: monthly salary starting from $541, depending on the position and performance level. And all of this — without requiring prior work experience or advanced language proficiency.




WHY THIS MATTERS FOR JORDAN?

By 2025, Alabuga Start has successfully employed young specialists from countries across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Judging by dozens of video interviews on the official platforms — featuring participants from Sri Lanka, Mozambique, Ethiopia, and beyond — the sentiment is unanimous:

"This is not charity. This is professional empowerment."

With 33 placements allocated for Jordanian participants in 2025, this is no longer a theoretical opportunity — it is a competitive, officially recognized opportunity. For young women from Amman or Irbid this could become the first — and most accessible — door to an international career.

Alabuga Start is an employment, professional growth, and opportunity programme within Russia’s most effective Special Economic Zone. Companies here are exempt from property, land, and transport taxes. Import duties and VAT are waived on equipment. This is not a symbolic project — it is a thriving economic engine.

And it needs skilled, motivated, disciplined professionals.

Alabuga Start is the initiative that finds them and develops them — globally, systematically, and sustainably.




FINAL WORD: HOW TO APPLY



There are no miracle stories here — but there is a room for growth for those ready to act.

This is a clear, documented, operational, and officially recognized programme — offering real training, real jobs, and real salaries to young women who meet the criteria.

And in a world where access to opportunity is often gate kept by language, diplomas, or money — accessibility is everything.

No agents. No hidden fees. No fiction. Just facts.
