Ofreceremos 2000 puestos de trabajo en
Feria de Empleo
Más de 30 empresas de tecnología, hotelería, entidades financieras y de servicios se darán cita en los campus de San Pedro y Heredia.

Feria Virtual se suma a las posibilidades de conseguir empleo para aquellas personas que no pueden asistir a los campus.

En Costa Rica el 47.6% de la población pertenece a la fuerza laboral del país, pero un 10.4% de este grupo se encuentra desempleado.  Esto según datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos, INEC.

En contraparte, una encuesta realizada por la empresa Manpower indica que un 23% de los empleadores costarricenses incrementará su planilla entre octubre y diciembre.Visualizando esta realidad laboral y con el objetivo de acercar a las empresas con sus futuros empleados, la Universidad Latina organiza una feria de empleo en su campus San Pedro y otra en el campus Heredia.

Plazas en hoteles reconocidos mundialmente son el plato fuerte en Campus de Heredia

La feria de empleo que se realizará en el campus de la Universidad Latina en Heredia incluirá en su menú 800 plazas vacantes en más de 15 hoteles del país.

“El objetivo de incluir hotelería en la feria es brindar la oportunidad de poder obtener mejores oportunidades laborales dentro de la industria de la hospitalidad y a la vez reforzar el acercamiento de la Universidad hacia las diferentes empresas del ámbito hotelero y de restaurantes” menciona Sánchez.

Entre los hoteles que participarán se incluyen el Four Seasons, Costa Rica Marriott, Intercontinental, Doubletree by Hilton Central Pacific, Doubletree by Hilton San José,  Hotel Westin Playa Conchal, Holiday Inn Escazú,  Hotel Barceló San José Palacio, JW Marriott Tamarindo, Villas Playa Sámara, Flamingo Beach Resort, Wyndham Escazú, Park Inn San José y Hyatt.

“Con estas ferias de empleo buscamos mantener una relación de cooperación entre la universidad, las personas desempleadas y la industria”, comenta Ariel Sánchez, Director de Vida Universitaria de la Universidad Latina.

Las dos ferias de empleo que organiza la Universidad Latina ofrecerán alrededor de 2000 puestos de trabajo y reunirán a más de 30 empresas.

Entidades financieras, empresas de tecnología, hoteles, restaurantes, supermercados y agencias reclutadoras serán parte de la oferta que ofrecerá estas ferias.  Estarán presentes Hewlett Packard, Resources, First Data, Deloitte, Search, Convergis, Amba Research, Joven 360, My Profile, Auxis, entre otras.

Cada una de estas empresas estará reclutando empleados para puestos administrativos y operativos en diferentes niveles jerárquicos.

“A parte de los stands de cada empresa, los asistentes podrán contar con una plataforma digital donde las empresas subirán sus ofertas de empleo en la web y podrán registrarse para aplicar a los puestos desde internet.  Con esta novedad desarrollaremos una feria de empleo virtual, en paralelo”, explica Sánchez.

El año pasado la Universidad Latina recibió a más de 3000 personas en las ferias de empleo que organizó y reunió aproximadamente a 30 empresas que ofrecieron más de 1500 puestos administrativos y operativos en el área de finanzas, ventas, contabilidad, ingeniería industrial, tecnologías de información, recepción, alimentos y bebidas, entre otros.

“Las ferias de empleo se han convertido en una herramienta efectiva que logra obtener resultados positivos para las empresas, ya que logran completar muchos de los puestos de trabajo vacantes y con muy buenos candidatos o recurso humano”, agrega Sánchez

Este año, durante las ferias de empleo de la Universidad Latina se ofrecerán charlas, con el propósito de capacitar a las personas que andan en buscan de trabajo, para que puedan cumplir su objetivo con mayor rapidez.

Las charlas son gratuitas, abiertas al público en general y no se necesita realizar una inscripción con anticipación.  Los interesados en alguno de los temas solamente deben presentarse a la hora y día indicados a continuación:

“Una de las grandes ventajas de esta oportunidad es la presencia de nuevas cadenas hoteleras que están en proceso de apertura en Costa Rica para los meses de noviembre 2012 a  2013”, resalta Sánchez.

Estas oportunidades para encontrar trabajo están disponibles para el público en general y se llevarán a cabo el viernes 28 y Sábado 29 de Setiembre en el campus de la Universidad Latina en San Pedro y el Viernes 5 y Sábado 6 de Octubre en el campus Heredia.
