Labour Ministry seeking employment opportunities for applicants

Oct 29, 2012 News

The Ministry of Labour is encouraging more business entities to register with the Central Recruitment and Manpower Agency (CRMA.)
According to Minister for the sector, Dr Nanda Gopaul the CRMA was successful in finding employment for thousands of Guyanese last year and, the  Labour Ministry under whose purview its falls, is hoping to have similar success this year.
“That is working pretty well, that is collaborating with other agencies around the country and, we are sharing information. We have been able to place a few thousands in jobs last year and, this year we are hoping to do the same…we want all the skills we can have to harness the resources of this country,” he noted.
The CRMA made its services available online in 2010 through a public/ private sector modernisation and e-governance programme that  allows persons with access to the internet to make submissions if they are seeking employment from anywhere in the country.
In 2011, the Labour Ministry conducted job fairs to take the services of the labour department and the new services of the CRMA directly to the people.  Charity, Region Two; Bartica; Linden and New Amsterdam were beneficiary areas.
The Ministry also catered for those persons who do not have access to the internet as it has partnered with the Regional Administration to provide hard copies of the application forms.
The agency exists with the objective to place individuals seeking jobs in suitable employment and provide career guidance and counseling. It is the Agency’s mandate to fulfill the desire of jobseekers through matching their level of qualification required by Organisations recruiting and arranging interviews to be conducted, registering the unemployed actively seeking employment and making a record of all informed vacancies.
Active jobseekers can log onto the CRMA website (http://www.crma-gy.com/) and register as a member.
Correspondently after registration, an employer can publish information on the website about the vacancy available. This is followed by a telephone contact to certify the details for the vacancy. Once this information is established, a jobseeker will be selected.
