NANNY CAY, Tortola, VI- Ms Kishma P. Forbes of Virgin Islands School and Office Supplies and Mr Julian Willock of Advance Marketing and Professional Services have teamed up with Nanny Cay Resort & Marina to host a job fair for residents and businesses of District Three.

According to a press release on the event, the job fair is scheduled for Tuesday, November 14, 2023, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Nanny Cay in the area next to the Peg Legs Restaurant.

Both Ms Forbes and Mr Willock have encouraged residents of District 3, “to be there, as companies at the job fair will have vacancies and can discuss career goals, and possible apprenticeships.”

Nanny Cay happy to be involved- Sutherland-Pilch

General Manager of Nanny Cay Resort and Marina Mr Miles Sutherland-Pilch said he was delighted to be a part of this effort in the ongoing contribution of Nanny Cay to not just the Sea Cows Bay area, but the entire community.  He urged all businesses located in Nanny Cay to contact him about their participation.

The job fair is expected to help residents in District Three find employment and a place where they can discuss their career goals especially, in the lucrative marine sector.

Mr Willock, of Advance Marketing and Professional Services, noted that the Department of Labour and Workforce Department will be on hand to answer questions, as well as many other businesses outside of Nanny Cay, as he encourages businesses to see this as an opportunity to not only staff their organisations, but also develop a pool of talent that they can train or offer apprenticeships.

Ms Forbes, of Virgin Islands School and Office Supplies, said she thanks Mr Sutherland-Pilch for his collaboration with herself and Mr Willock and is expecting a most productive job fair on November 14, 2023.

Job fair follows back-to-school giveaway in D3

This is the third collaboration between Forbes and Willock aimed at benefitting the people of the Third District.

The two teamed up for a back-to-school giveaway in August 2023, when more than one hundred and thirty (130) students from the Third District were equipped with a variety of school supplies.

In September 2023, the two business persons collaborated to donate over a thousand dollars ($1000.00) worth of items to Ebenezer Thomas Primary School in Sea Cows Bay.

The donated items included 6 power fans, a Glue Gun with Glue Sticks, a Laminating Machine, and a variety of snacks.

The duo is also looking to establish a food pantry to cater to vulnerable persons in the Third District.

    I hate to be a party pooper, but most companies cannot afford to hire however it's impressive to hear you all saying companies at the job fair will have vacancies

    We are happy to see the labour department will be there, but we want better work permit processing and more autonomy in running our businesses without labour always taking the employees side

    employment is primarily in civil service jobs. The two marinas(Nanny Cay, Manuel Reef) are the main private employers. Those are the visible means of support for the honest constituents. The majority, however appear to have no visible means of support.
