We’ve bin recycling Employment initiatives

AUTHORITIES in Palma are fighting the seasonal employment trends previously seen in the city with a programme of employment initiatives. February is Employment Month in Palma and there are plenty of opportunities for unemployed people to find a job.

The month­long event was launched on Friday, February 3, and will see a total of 1,262 jobs be offered to local residents. The first job fair took place on the same day in PalmaActiva’s headquarters on Calle del Socors.

Zafiro Hotels and Gallery Centre were both present at the first fair offering 64 jobs and 16 jobs respectively to 229 job seekers who visited. The two hospitality businesses were both seeking positions such as chefs, receptionists, waiters and managers and gave short interviews to interested candidates.

Job fairs this week included one with Melià Hotels and Ferrer Hotels on Monday, February 6 and ones with Marriot International, and Nordic Leisure Group, happening on Thursday, February 9. Organising councillor, Jordi Vilà, said that the month aims to boost employment opportunities for local residents while helping companies to fill vacancies.

Show is back with new dates announced for 2023. The international boating event will be held from Friday, April 27 until Sunday, April 30 in the city’s Moll Vell dock, right at the foot of the iconic cathedral.

The show is an unmissable date for any boat enthusiast as one of the biggest international boating fairs in the Mediterranean, with three days of varied marine­related activities. From nautical sports teams to boat building specialists and tourism experiences, every aspect of marine life is covered with plenty of products and adventures on sale.

Not to be overlooked, superyachts also have a dedicated superyacht ‘village’, which boasts the latest designs and even prototype styles to view. As well as selling brand­new, top­of­therange marine equipment, the show also has a specially ­ dedicated repair and maintenance area with plenty of experts to chat with.

The event’s last edition in 2022 brought together more than 275 exhibitors showcasing a range of top­quality items to more than 32,000 guests. And this year, organisers want to do even better
