Woman living with disability, others pleased with labour ministry's employment search

SANSHIA Hayles attended her first job fair last Thursday and was impressed, not only because of the smooth process, but due to the fair treatment she received as a Jamaican living with a disability.

The 27-year-old, who is visually impaired, was among scores of people who engaged in the two-day job fair, which was held last Wednesday and Thursday by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security under its Labour Market Information System at its office in Kingston.

Hayles told the Jamaica Observer that the job fair initially piqued her interest as she wanted to ensure she was working during the summer when she gets a break from school.

"I came to find a job because I don't like the idea of staying at home and not going anywhere when school is on holiday. I wanted something to do for the summer and permanently perhaps," said Hayles, who is a final-year student at Jamaica Theological Seminary.

After doing three interviews, she said she was satisfied with the accommodations offered.

"I am also elated and very much pleased with the acceptance when doing interviews. I was given a chance to be expressive, so they could understand how best I can perform and not being discriminatory, not showing that in their attitude or even in the way they ask their questions. I didn't feel that way at all," a smiling Hayles said.

Several companies seeking employees were at the job fair, including Domino's, Knutsford Express, Wisynco Group, Island Grill, Hawkeye, and KFC Jamaica.

Some of the jobs available were fast-food chain cooks, packers, cashiers, marketing managers, accounting clerks, paralegals and administrative assistants.

Throughout the day job seekers waited patiently under tents with their documents before being referred to employers for interviews.

Nekeshia Warren, a mother of three, said she became aware of the job fair on seeing a flyer on social media.

"As a mother, you have responsibilities and once something is not working out, you try other things. There are a lot employers, so you just have to see what will work for you," she said.

Asked whether she had thought the flyer was a scam, Warren said, "I know that once you see any ministry hosting something you know it's legitimate."

Jamaica is conducting a comprehensive review of its visa portfolio, and consideration of granting Nigerians visas on arrival is on the table.

The review affects citizens of several other countries too, according to the Caribbean island nation's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Leslie Campbell.

The official said, during a town hall event in Lagos on Saturday, April 29, 2023, that the review process may be concluded soon.

"It's something which is under consideration. Last year, when the Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, was in Jamaica, I had that discussion with him and gave him my undertaking that it will be looked at.

According to the Jamaican High Commissioner to Nigeria, Esmond Reid, there's a huge traffic of Nigerians who apply for and secure students' and work visas to Jamaica annually.

Many Nigerians schooling, teaching in Jamaica —Envoy

The Jamaican High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr Esmond Reid, has disclosed that there are many Nigerians who are either students or lecturers in various Jamaican schools.

He made the disclosure at the public launch of a book, entitled: ‘Wings, Roots and Branches’ written by a Nigerian author and CEO of Nigerians Travel Too, Mrs Elizabeth Agboola, in Lagos, recently.

He said that though he could not immediately give exact figure of the Nigerian students and lecturers, some of whom are professors in Jamaican schools including universities at the moment, he is very sure of the huge traffic of Nigerians who apply and secure students’ and work visa to Jamaica and other Caribbean countries on a yearly basis.

Reid explained that he is aware that universities in Jamaica and other Caribbean countries actually want to strengthen collaboration with Nigerian universities and other African countries on teacher, student exchange programmes.

Man, that is just racist fa? But the Africans are not staying, it just a transit point. Wow what a world!

In a bizarre explanation about the migrant smuggling scandal, government spokesman Melford Nicholas suggested at a news conference today that the Africans who were offered stay in Antigua did not feel welcome here and wanted to leave.


“Several of the West African migrants reported that there was expressed hostility towards them by angry people who signaled that they wished them to leave their country.


This hostility, the Cabinet agreed, was not the custom in Antigua whose immigrant population is significant in size.


During the period of campaigning, leading up to the January 2023 general elections, the migrants learned that they had been wrongly accused of being impostor voters, and other objectionable accusations had been hurled at them.”
