Jobs for Bajans in Canada

SEVERAL POSITIONS are available for Barbadians in the hospitality industry in Canada.

The National Employment Bureau (NEB) of the Ministry of Labour said yesterday it had continued to source these employment opportunities.

Barbadians who have worked in the sector are especially invited to register for the positions of laundry attendants, stewards, room attendants, food and beverage servers, cooks, golf course workers and guest service agents.

Candidates should be between the ages of 18 and 55 and have at least two years experience working in the hotel sector, or on a cruise line.

Applications should include a typed résumé or curriculum vitae; copies of qualifications, certificates or diplomas in training for the hotel industry; two signed job references; four passport-size photographs; and a recent police certificate of character.

Meanwhile, the NEB is also searching for people to participate in its seasonal Agricultural Workers' Programme in Canada.

To register, you must be between the ages of 18 and 45 years of age and have four passport-size photographs; your birth certificate; a valid passport and a recent police certificate of character.

Experience in working in the agriculture sector, a background in mechanics and a heavy duty/international licence would also be assets.

For further information on the Overseas Hospitality Programme, interested persons should contact Juliette Brathwaite, Patrina Jordan or Laurison Mayers, or for the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Programme, Sonja Quintyne, Valerie Quintyne or Lisa Holder. (BGIS)
