Jobless given unemployment hotline to help find jobs

A new 'unemployment hotline' has been set up allowing the jobless to register for possible jobs.The new number is 297-7631.Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Patrice Minors said: "While the Department of Labour and Training has a broad data base of individuals, there are occasions when persons are required for vacant jobs and those in our data base do not meet the specified employment qualifications."The new hotline will enable us to have a greater reach to the unemployed by allowing those persons who may not want to, or be able to personally come into the Department to still register with us, in a convenient way.”She said the Department will review the hotline messages and return all calls within 48-hours to obtain additional details and information so that the callers can be matched with vacant jobs available.
