Photos & Video: Today’s Hospitality Career Fair
The Department of Workforce Development and the Bermuda Hotel Association hosted a Hospitality Career Fair today [Feb 25] in the conference rooms at Elbow Beach Hotel, with participating hotel properties hosting stations to help attendees determine areas of interest.
Speaking in advance of the event, Minister of Home Affairs Michael Fahy said, “The National Training Plan tells us that in 2012, there were 6,561 jobs in the hotels and hospitality sector.
“Some 5,029 of those jobs were held by Bermudians, which includes spouses of Bermudians and PRC holders. The remainder of jobs — 1,532 — were held by expatriate workers. The data suggests that there are job opportunities for properly qualified Bermudians in the Hotels and Hospitality sector.
“Unfortunately, a lack of understanding and appreciation for the lifestyle that hospitality industry jobs provide, including flexible hours, ability to change positions, and additional income opportunities, still exists.”

3000 unemployed right? Guess they were sitting off on de wall today instead of looking for a job.
1500 available in the hospitality industry.
Looks like an empty room. How many showed up, looking presentable, & seriously lookintg for a job?
It must be very discouraging to the hotels & the people who work to put on these job fairs when few show up.
