Royal Caribbean to host job fair in Grenada

Cruise jobs on the upswing throughout the Caribbean

ST. GEORGE’S, GRENADA — Jobseekers in Grenada now have a chance to launch their career in the cruise industry as Royal Caribbean will be hosting a job fair this upcoming week.

This is the latest sign of the cruise industry’s recovery in the Caribbean after a devastating blow from the coronavirus pandemic for the better part of 2020 and a large portion of 2021.

The upcoming job fair will be the second installment in what has been hailed as a “large-scale recruitment drive for Grenadians interested in working onboard Royal Caribbean cruise ships”.

Grenada Tourism Authority CEO Petra Roach.

It is being hosted in conjunction with Mampa Employment Agency and the Grenada Tourism Authority.

According to Grenada Tourism Authority CEO Petra Roach, “This recruitment drive aligns with our overall development thrust for the tourism industry

“Royal Caribbean Group is one of the top five cruise lines in the world, with a superb training programme.

“Successful applicants will benefit from world-class training in the hospitality, travel and tourism industry, which we can then tap into for the further development of our own industry here in Grenada.”
