The Ministry of Tourism wants to help you get your next job. Register to get two types of certification, FREE OF COST, that will help you get a job in tourism.
The tourism sector has been hampered by the impact of the Coronavirus. Though everyone believes that there are persons seeking jobs, the sector still struggles. Many persons seeking employment in the sector go to job fairs, but many candidates show up and are not chosen. Often candidates are not chosen because they lack job readiness skills.
Facilitated by the Jamaica Centre of Tourism Innovation (JCTI) a Division of the Tourism Enhancement Fund, in collaboration with our local and international partners, we are collaborating to help.
We invite anyone interested in working in the tourism sector to register for:
