Ministry of Education, Employment and Human Resources Employment Department 19.07.11 PRESS RELEASE Employment Department intensify efforts to assist Jobseekers through series of district meetings The Employment Department in Ministry of Education, Employment and Human Resources is organising a series of meetings for jobseekers throughout the month of July and August for all districts on Mahe as well as Praslin and La Digue. This initiative follows the President’s National Day Address on 18th June 2011, with the main objective to provide jobseekers with a platform to voice out their concerns and any questions they may have on procedures relating to job searching. The meeting will also identify the main difficulties jobseekers are facing while seeking employment. The first meetings took place on Monday 18th July 2011 for Anse Aux Pins district at the Community Centre followed by Anse Royale on Wednesday 20th July 2011 and Pointe Larue on Friday 22nd July 2011. A delegation, headed by the Principal Secretary for Employment Mrs Marina Confait chaired the first meeting which included the Director General for Employment Mr Jules Baker, Director for Employment Promotion Section Mr Ivans Nolin and other employment officials. Aside from Employment Department officials, representatives of various private Employment Agencies namely Job Plus, HEG Agency and SMS Agency were also present in this exercise which gave the ideal opportunity for jobseekers to register and ultimately the chance to secure employment. Addressing those present during the first session the Principal Secretary stressed that currently there are many job opportunities in the country especially in the tourism industry. She urged those who are seriously searching for jobs to consider these options and to also take up any temporary job opportunities as this also can open doors. “There are lots of job vacancies nowadays and Seychellois are not responding and many companies have to seek foreigners who most of the times work on a temporary basis,” said Mrs Confait. Details for other district meetings are being communicated via the media as the meetings take place on a weekly basis. All meetings will be held in the District Community Centre unless otherwise indicated. The Employment Department is launching a special appeal to all jobseekers to take advantage of this opportunity placed at their disposal to facilitate access to and secure employment.
