Careers fair to be held for refugees

The Cyprus Refugee Council is organising the first careers fair for refugees on Wednesday in Nicosia to bring together employers and International Protection candidates and asylum seekers.

The Refugees@Work Career Fair will take place at the Nicosia Multipurpose Centre from 9am. More than 25 companies and organisations islandwide have registered to take part.

According to the Cyprus Refugee council’s website “it is common ground that an efficient utilisation of all available domestic human resources is essential for increasing productivity.

“Refugees@Work Career Fair provides companies with the opportunity to benefit from the talents, the qualifications and the skills held by refugees residing in Cyprus.”

The event will be held under the auspices of the UNHCR in Cyprus and Nicosia Municipality.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
