2,000 Jobs Available In
Guanacaste: Tourism,
Construction,
Agribusinesses
(Infocom) — The great
demand for workers in
the province of
Guanacaste has led a
group of businesses and
organizations to get
together with the goal
of better advertising
positions available in
various sectors of the
economy.
Joining this effort are
business and
workforce-development
entities, such as the
Tourism Professionals
Association (ACOPROT)
and the National
Learning Institute
(INA), which have taken
to preparing specialized
personnel in the areas
experiencing the highest
demand in the province —
including tourism,
construction and
administrative
personnel.
Together, all of these
organizations will
provide information
about current job
openings at the 2008
Guanacaste Employment
Fair, to be held next
Oct. 4-5, from 10 a.m.
until 6 p.m., at Mall
Centro Plaza Liberia.
Entrance to the fair is
free.
In addition to previous
editions, this time the
fair won’t be
exclusively centered
around the tourism
industry, but it also
include agribusinesses
and construction.
The fair will bring
together more than 60
companies from the
region, among them
Thrifty Car Rental,
Hilton Papagayo Resort
Costa Rica, Hotel JW
Marriott, Toyota Rent a
Car, Hotel Barcelo
Langosta Beach, TACA

are in need of more than
2,000 workers in
different positions,
though most of them have
to do with tourism.
Those interested in the
job openings will have a
chance to learn more
about available
positions, drop off
their resumes and find
information about study
programs and training
offered by INA, the
University of Costa Rica
(UCR), the National
University (UNA), and

The job fair is
organized by ACOPROT,

States Chamber of
Commerce (AMCHAM), the

Tourism (CATURGUA), the
