Jobseekers are asked to bring their resume, police record, references and National Insurance card to the job fair.

This follows a successful “Labour On The Blocks 2.0” held in the nation’s capital last month.

However, this latest edition will be held in Freeport, Grand Bahama, giving those from the country’s second city and other Family Islands a chance to browse the jobs available.

According to a government statement, “The Department of Labour’s Grand Bahama office, in conjunction with other government agencies, will host a Labour On The Blocks 2.0 Job Fair on Saturday, November 19, 2022, in Freeport, Grand Bahama.”

This is particularly timely as Grand Bahama has struggled economically for several years.

Residents have consistently complained of challenges with gainful employment. As such, a job fair would be tremendously beneficial if it sees the same amount of success as the Labour On The Blocks held in Nassau.
