A workforce company, not a labour broker
Loyan Afghan Private Employment Company is a licensed Afghan company specialising in overseas employment placement, workforce recruitment, training and professional skills development — building a reliable bridge between Afghan workers and legitimate employment opportunities around the world.
Licence MOLSA-05-LOY-1638-R9 Ministry of Labour & Social Affairs Head office — Kabul Nationwide programme
Connecting skilled Afghan workers with global opportunities for a better future.
To develop, certify and connect a skilled workforce with international employers through trusted partnerships, quality assurance, compliance with applicable International Labour Organization (ILO) principles and standards, and ethical workforce solutions.
A nationwide platform for employment, skills and mobility
We are establishing a nationwide programme focused on employment, skills development, training and overseas workforce placement — designed to reach Afghans across the country, not only those already in the capital.
We provide training and skills-development opportunities, identify suitable employment opportunities in different countries, connect suitable candidates with potential employers, and support those candidates throughout the recruitment and placement process.
The intent is straightforward: help Afghan workers build practical skills, improve their employability, and access legitimate international employment in a professional, organised and transparent manner.
Three commitments that define the company
Facilitate overseas employment
Connect qualified Afghan job seekers with legitimate and suitable employment opportunities in international labour markets.
Develop workforce skills
Build practical, employer-relevant capability through training and professional development — staying close to industry standards and adopting best practice, so candidates meet the requirements international roles actually set.
Promote safe and transparent recruitment
Establish a professional, organised and transparent recruitment and placement system that supports ethical and reliable overseas employment for Afghans — and sustainable progress in Afghanistan and beyond.
Who we serve, and where we place them
Our candidate market is Afghan job seekers from all provinces who are interested in legitimate overseas employment — skilled, semi-skilled and entry-level workers, fresh graduates, experienced professionals, and individuals who need vocational training before entering the international job market. On the demand side we work with international employers and recruitment partners seeking qualified and reliable Afghan workers.

Alongside his professional career he has established and successfully grown several businesses, maintaining a consistently entrepreneurial outlook while remaining committed to contributing to his people and creating opportunities for others.
Loyan Afghan began with a problem he saw clearly: thousands of capable Afghans were unemployed and searching for employment abroad, yet many lacked proper guidance, professional preparation and a reliable pathway to legitimate employers. He envisioned the company as a bridge between Afghan talent and international opportunity — helping people develop the right skills, connect with credible employers, and pursue employment abroad through organised, professional and responsible channels.
Key areas of expertise
The founding idea
For Mr. Emal, Loyan Afghan is more than a business — it is a commitment to empowering Afghan people, creating sustainable employment, and contributing to Afghanistan's economic and human development.
