Formentera celebrates second Employment and Enterprise Fair on 9 March

Formentera Impulsa, an initiative of the Consell de Formentera's Office of Local Development and Enterprise, is pleased to present the island's second Employment and Enterprise Fair (Fira d'Ocupació i Emprenedoria), programmed 9 March at Jardí de ses Eres and Centre Antoni Tur 'Gabrielet'.
Ana Juan, president and entrepreneurship councillor of the Consell de Formentera, said that "following the positive experience of the first fair, we want to consolidate an initiative that aims to connect companies and workers as well as promote training and make it accessible to young people entering the job market and job seekers." Juan said, "We know that companies need to find workers and that workers need to find jobs that match their skills."

She highlighted the administration's progress implementing Formentera Impulsa, "a project which brings together many of the objectives set to improve skills and training on Formentera."

Fifteen participating companies, nine entities and formenteraimpulsa.cat
An online satisfaction survey among fair participants found that more than 80% were satisfied with the outcome of the 2022 fair and showed interest in participating in future editions. Last year, twelve companies and six entities participated, and more than 150 interviews were held. In fact, most of the participants are returning this year and there are new ones. Current registrees include fifteen companies and nine entities in the field of employment and/or entrepreneurship. The companies will have a space to exhibit their offers, receive candidate résumés and conduct short interviews.

This year, visitors to the second Employment and Enterprise Fair section of formenteraimpulsa.cat will find a list of participating companies, their offers, and an online form with which candidates can send their résumés.

Like last year, the Employment and Enterprise Fair offers talks and workshops open to all those interested.
