1st District Job Expo attracts professionals, corporate VI
He had told youth of the district to turn out in their numbers dressed for success with the intention of landing a job from some of the companies and corporations which took part.
"So many young people were meeting me in the district asking me for jobs...asking me what it takes to become a doctor or lawyer. I'm not an expert in those areas so I decided to do allow the professionals to come in and speak," said Honourable Fahie during his opening remarks.
He said that it took some time and effort to put together all of the professionals. They included engineers and architects, doctors, lawyers, persons from the financial services industry, graphic artists, nurses, and the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force.
He also thanked CCT Global Communications, Delta Petroleum, Bolo's Department Store, One Mart, the Post Office, Guana Island, International Motors Ltd, and Clarence Thomas Limited.
Other companies that were not physically present at the Expo but asked that names of young people be registered with them were James Todman Construction, Tortola Auto Group, Oil Nut Bay among others. The Labour Department also took part in the Expo.
As part of the day’s activities, companies and professions were given the opportunity to make presentations to the young people with regard to the job that they were expected to do and what else were required of them to be able to access the opportunity.
Honourable Fahie, however, cautioned that the Expo was not a guarantee that the job was theirs.
"I want to thank the companies that are here. I want you the young people to go and register to each and every one of them. And if you can't get a job after registering with 15 companies I don't know what to say. I think your chances are great," he said.
