PHILIPSBURG:--- The Second National Job Fair scheduled for Wednesday, October 2, 2024, from 9am to 4pm at Aleeze in Madam Estate features over 700 job opportunities presented by 40+ companies representing 11 different industries in Sint Maarten.
Job applicants can expect on the spot hires and the opportunity to align their career goals with the many job openings across various positions, educational levels and departments. In-person attendees can meet with talent professionals and hiring managers face-to-face during interview opportunities and submit their resumes by hand. In collaboration with the Tallahassee Sint Maarten and stakeholders in the Netherlands, the NJF will also feature online interview sessions for international professionals and graduates who are interested in exploring careers in Sint Maarten.
NESC’s employment development efforts, including our employability enhancement sessions and the job fair held in 2023, have helped countless job seekers find rewarding careers and develop the necessary life skills to strengthen their career development goals.
This year, the NESC is collaborating with the Sint Maarten Hospitality and Trade Association (SHTA) to ensure that the objectives of this job fair align with the recruitment efforts of the business community. As such, SHTA representatives will support this initiative by providing resume and interview tips to attendees and job seekers.
In celebration of this momentous occasion, SHTA will also host a Business Mixer for representatives of the participating businesses, key representatives of Ministry VSA, and volunteers.
In addition to SHTA, the SMMTA will be present at the Job Fair to highlight the variety, scope, and potential careers in the Hospitality and Marine sector. This collaboration is designed to give job seekers a clearer understanding of these industries, emphasizing their significance to the local economy and the wide range of career paths.
NESC, SHTA and the SMMTA are hopeful for a successful event and are committed to maintaining an ongoing dialogue to better explain and promote the various leading industries on the island. Future discussions with SMMTA will focus on developing easier processes to hire for skilled positions and continuing to strengthen this partnership by looking at training and education needs.
