The launch of a new supply chain and logistics company brings the promise of not just more immediate jobs, but the potential for an increasing number of hubs in diversified markets; and Caribbean Employment Services Inc. welcomes the possibility with relish.
Caribbean Employment Services Inc. is a market-leading digital talent acquisition service that aims to connect the top talent from the Caribbean with hiring managers, HR professionals and decision-makers in companies both within the Caribbean as well as abroad. Further, it aims to provide the region’s jobseekers and those who are already employed with news and resources related to Caribbean labour.
As the region continues its steady yet rapid recovery from the worst impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, more Caribbean countries have begun looking to establish themselves as “hubs” in emerging fields to both increase economic activity and also decrease their reliance on tourism. This is especially timely as the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) recently released a report finding that many Caribbean nations continue to be dependent on tourism despite the fact that the pandemic revealed the Caribbean tourism product to be vulnerable to external shocks in particularly detrimental ways.
However, a silver lining has emerged from the pandemic in the form of new urgency and earnest efforts to create tech hubs, cybersecurity hubs, green energy hubs, cryptocurrency hubs and more in the Caribbean. As an organization dedicated to helping Caribbean jobseekers become employed, and helping employers to find the best talent for the job, Caribbean Employment Services Inc. is eager to see these developments and hopes they continue as they would help to maximize the kind of economic diversification that would lead to better job opportunities for citizens and residents. The successful launch of hubs in Caribbean countries would in turn lead to more investment in this regard, and further expansion that will be beneficial to the region’s economies.
Caribbean Employment Services Inc. will continue to monitor developments in this regard and remains committed to providing assistance with connecting jobseekers and employers in a mutually beneficial capacity.
