Santo Domingo witnessed a significant economic development this Thursday as President Luis Abinader unveiled the ‘RD-Trabaja’ program alongside the expansive job fair titled ‘Tu empleo está aquí’ (Your Job Is Here). The initiative, designed to fortify the national economy through quality employment, features 66 companies offering 7,012 formal job positions across the Dominican Republic. President Abinader underscored the program’s importance, citing both local and foreign investments as indicators of a robust labor market. Notably, the Mexican company Moon Palace is set to create 3,500 jobs, further validating the growing confidence in the country’s economic prospects. The president also revealed plans to extend the program beyond Santo Domingo, with two new industrial buildings slated for inauguration in San Juan’s Free Trade Zone, promising immediate employment opportunities. The Ministry of Labor and INFOTEP have played pivotal roles in bridging the gap between job seekers and employers, offering technical training to streamline the hiring process. The job fair, held at the UNICARIBE Convention Center on the 30 de Mayo Highway, operates from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., showcasing vacancies in the hotel, industrial, and service sectors.
