On behalf of the private sector, the Bonaire Chamber of Commerce and BONHATA attended the Flinx Recruitment Expo Dutch Caribbean (FRED expo) on October 29th in Rotterdam.
The purpose of this expo was to get in touch with candidates interested in transferring to Bonaire. The Bonaire Chamber of Commerce and BONHATA saw a need within the private sector for filling positions and thus had taken the step together to be present at this fair to -in addition to the government sector- also represent the private sector on Bonaire as an interesting option for candidates. Both organizations presented concrete vacancies from various local companies at the fair. These vacancies were also posted on the FRED expo website www.fredexpo.com.
BONHATA also gave a presentation on working in the ‘hospitality’ sector on Bonaire at the fair and noted that there was a lot of interest from participants for management positions in the tourism sector.
The Bonaire Chamber of Commerce made a presentation on the opportunities offered by entrepreneurship in Bonaire.
Both organizations had a lot of interest from visitors at the eye-catching “It’s in our nature” stand.
The Chamber of Commerce also made many contacts with entrepreneurs from the islands who are active in the Netherlands and also motivated them to use their knowledge and experience for the further development of Bonaire by carrying out business activities here as well.
The Chamber of Commerce and BONHATA looks back on a successful participation in this fair as the visitors’ interest was definitely piqued to consider Bonaire as an option.
