Be ready for 'on-the-spot interviews'- Willock

Mr Willock requested that residents from District Three come with their resumes and be ready for on-the-spot interviews and immediate employment once successful.

Also on hand at the September 28, 2025, job fair will be representatives from the National Health Insurance and Social Security Board with information about contributions and benefits.

Additionally, the Trade and Consumer Affairs Department, along with the Department of Labour and Workforce Development, will be present with information to help businesses and employees.

Empowering our people

This is the third annual job fair hosted by Mr Willock and his committee. He said this is “our continued efforts on our journey to empower our people.”

He added that the Trade Department would also be there, because “while I support the 9 to 5, we also encourage our people to take advantage of our entrepreneurial spirit”.

Flow BVI, Nanny Cay Marina, Tortola Auto Group (Tag), and Triple A Trucking are also sponsors of the 2025 District Three Job Fair.

The second annual job fair by Mr Willock and team was deemed a "huge success".
