The Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MLSS) in Jamaica has announced the St Catherine Job Fair, set to take place on Wednesday, October 29, at Celebration Church in Portmore. The event, running from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, is designed to connect jobseekers in Portmore and surrounding areas with a variety of employment opportunities across multiple sectors, including hospitality, security, finance, and customer service. Positions such as customer service representatives, baristas, chefs, security guards, accounting clerks, and restaurant managers will be available. Prominent companies like Fontana Pharmacy, Hawkeye, Centerfield Star Bucks Convenient Brands Limited (which includes Dominos and Circle K), SWAT Elite, Guardsman, Optimum, Wendy’s, KFC, Restaurants Associates Limited (including Burger King, Popeyes, and Little Caesars), and Honey Bun will be participating. Lyndon Ford, Director of the Electronic Labour Exchange (ELE), advises jobseekers to research companies of interest beforehand, dress professionally, and bring a positive attitude to enhance their chances of securing employment. Participants are encouraged to register online at lmis.gov.jm, upload their résumés, and bring essential documents such as proof of qualifications, National Insurance Scheme (NIS) card, Tax Registration Number (TRN) card, and passport-sized photographs.
