The venue for the inaugural Diaspora Job Fair in New York
As the date for the inaugural Diaspora Job Fair approaches – July 27, 2024 – dozens of prominent Guyanese companies in the United States have confirmed their participation in the event, slated for the Marriott Hotel at La Guardia Airport in New York City.
This event, which has garnered significant interest from several other companies, marks a crucial initiative aimed at showcasing career opportunities across various industries, as it underscores its importance as a pivotal platform for connecting returning Guyanese professionals with prospective employers.
The job fair, a commitment by President Dr. Irfaan Ali following his recent meeting with the Guyanese diaspora in New York, aims to harness the skills and expertise of Guyana’s diaspora community.
“This job fair represents a pivotal moment for our nation as we seek to harness the skills and expertise of our diaspora community,” Foreign Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Robert Persaud, has said.
He added, “We are delighted to partner with industry leaders and stakeholders to facilitate meaningful connections that contribute to Guyana’s development.”
Attendees can anticipate direct engagement with representatives of leading companies, government agencies, and non-profit organizations, all offering a diverse range of employment opportunities and valuable insights into the remigration process.
The event would include informative sessions on investment opportunities, housing options, and educational resources available to returning citizens.
“We encourage all skilled Guyanese professionals in the diaspora to participate in this unprecedented event,” Foreign Secretary Persaud added. “Whether you are considering returning to Guyana or seeking to make a meaningful impact from abroad, the Diaspora Job Fair promises to be an invaluable networking and career advancement opportunity.”
