While the Mayor and City Council has made no apparent effort to implement central government’s recommendations in relation to the contentious parking meter contract, its partner, Smart City Solutions (SCS) has begun recruiting staff.
Yesterday, in excess of 100 persons showed up at the National Library to attend the SCS Job Fair. The fair which included three scheduled information sessions was billed as “three chances to get your ideal job.” Advertised posts included Legal Officer, Towing Agents, Booting Agents, Enforcement Agents, Call Centre Agent, IT Manager and Accounting Officer among others.
Director of SCS, Ifa Kamau Cush speaking with Stabroek News said that the turnout was indicative of the high level of unemployment in the country.
“It shows the high level of unemployment in this country. People need jobs and we are providing that. No matter what else is said what needs to be remembered is that we are creating in excess of 100 jobs,” Kush said.
