GuyanaWorx seeking to bridge demand for oil and gas jobs
With the economy set for major growth, propelled by the oil and gas sector, a new online portal, GuyanaWorx, is seeking to connect employers in Guyana with the skilled workers they need.
“GuyanaWorx is a career bridge connecting employers in Guyana with job seekers around the world, especially the skilled and experienced Guyanese diaspora,” Salaudeen Nausrudeen, its Chief Executive Officer told this newspaper.
The extraordinary growth in the country’s economy, due to the discovery of oil and gas, will demand thousands of skilled and professional personnel that Guyana’s current workforce is unable to supply, Nausrudeen said.
Nausrudeen said that the call for highly skilled and experienced people is anticipated for the economic growth ahead and against this background GuyanaWorx is available for Guyanese to register whether they live here or in another country.
He assured that the platform has a technical team which will enable a smooth flow of data and constant exposure.
Nausrudeen is a marketing and business development executive with over 15 years of experience in the web development of various industries. He has been doing so by managing PositivePlans ( www. Positiveplans. com), which is a business development, marketing and consulting service. GuyanaWorx is one of the many projects developed by PositivePlans to advance the workforce during this technological age.
Nausrudeen said that GuyanaWorx would like to have 30,000 persons registered within the next two years as this would be a milestone for career-finding platforms in Guyana. He said that based on the data he has seen thus far, a wide variety of Guyanese from all across the globe have registered and are benefitting.
For prospective employees, access to the platform is free, while for prospective employers there is an offer of a single free posting and a US$39 pay-as-you-post option as well as an US$299 annual subscription option.
