Residents will be able to explore the diversity of professions and career paths across the public service at a fair next month.

The event will offer a chance for attendees to consider how their interests, education, skills and experience could align in their working lives, the Government said.

Scheduled for June 18 at Pier 6, the Public Service Career Fair and Expo will feature career-specific booths, information on training and apprenticeship programmes, virtual and in-person panel discussions and demonstrations.

The programme will bring together ministries and departments to give residents an opportunity to explore the wide range of careers available across the public service, a government spokeswoman added.

It is hoped that the expo will encourage college and high school students, job seekers and people thinking about changing their careers to learn more about modern public service roles and pathways.

Cherie-lynn Whitter, the Head of the Public Service, said: “The career fair is an opportunity for people to gain clearer insight into the rich and varied careers within the public service, and how they are structured and accessed.

“Many people are familiar with government services but may not know the range of professions, entry routes and career progression that exist behind them.”

Ms Whitter said attendees will be able to engage directly with public officers, understand the skills required across different roles and begin to reimagine how a career in the public service could fit into their own professional journey.
