First ever skills and trade persons job fair today
For the first time ever persons seeking employment within the mining sector will be able to do so
ISK Managing Director, Delorece South
through services provided by a reputable company. This will be made possible through IKS Services Unlimited.
According to Managing Director Dilorece South, among services being offered by the company are: securing licences for exploration companies, Environmental Protection Agency licences and procurement services. Ms. South said her company is multi-faceted and caters to small, medium and large scale business, particularly those in the exploration business.
To formally introduce the services to the public, ISK will be hosting a Skills and Trade Persons job fair today. The event is scheduled for 13:00 hours at the Girl Guides Pavilion, Brickdam.
Ms. South said that during the fair, several medium and large scale mining companies will have booths open showcasing themselves. Further, ISK will be doing on-the-spot interviews for persons seeking employment within the sector. These persons, South said, will be added to the company’s database, and as soon as an agency indicates to them the need for skilled persons, the most suitable candidate will be called.
However, South explained that the persons who will be added to their database will be properly screened; will have to provide proper references as well as valid police clearances and their certificates of qualification, when necessary.
South said that her company has been fully endorsed by the Ministry of Labour which will be dealing with safety at work places and the rights of workers. The Minister of Natural Resources Robert Persaud has also endorsed the company’s initiative. According to South, ISK will also be providing services to persons, both nationals and non-nationals, who will be seeking work and mining permits. Already, too, several large scale mining companies have registered with ISK, including Hopkinson Mining of Bartica and Mahdia Gold Corp.
Meanwhile, South stressed the need for more such companies in Guyana, since many persons don’t see the importance of service-based agencies.
“I felt the need for such a company, since I noticed that Guyana certainly needs more of this type of business. We are not a service-based country, but because we are heading into the future where we have to go with the times, we are in upward mobility.”
