Puerto Vallarta, Jal.- The third National Job Fair I held in Puerto Vallarta was a big success. 822 jobs were available and 30 business companies participated. Something very special in this fair was the fact that there were 50 available jobs for hearing impairs.

Yolanda Santiago Villela, Director of National Job Services in Jalisco, stated that they have requested business companies to offer permanent positions, which means that people should not only be hired for a short period of time, during high season; but that they get hired with a chance of continuing with their jobs once the high season is over.

She thanked the business companies and the Chamber of Commerce for their work and their efforts on looking for a way to train and provide stability to those looking for jobs. “We, at work, are also at the service of business companies; we verified the needs of the companies, and if their workers need additional training, we go after that kind of support”.

In her message, Santiago Villela underlined the fact that in the third job fair, there were 50 openings for hearing impairs. Finding jobs for disabled citizens is something to worry about. It worries us, in the government and it also worries the families, as much as finding jobs for senior citizens

“We thank the companies who take the time to find a space for them, knowing that those they hired will have the skills needed for the job, they won’t hired disabled citizen for humanitarian reason, but because they are capable of doing the job”, she said.

She also said that one never knows when a person, because of an accident or because of an illness, can become disabled, “that can easily happen. There are very well prepared people that after a very tragic accident have had to go back to work with a disability because they have family to support and bills to pay”.

Yolanda Santiago Villela finished her speech by calling on all other business companies that have not yet opened their doors to disabled citizens, to become more sensitive and to open the doors to this people who, she insisted, are capable of doing the job as well as any other person can.
