Government seeks Virgin Islanders living abroad to come home to fill jobs here
ATLANTA — The U.S. Virgin Islands Division of Personnel has announced the launch of a national campaign to raise awareness of the wide range of public service jobs available in the territory with an aggressive focus on attracting Virgin Islanders living abroad.
An interactive Career Mixer will be held on Saturday, July 10, at The Gathering Spot in downtown Atlanta, which is the first stop on the trail, where a group of government department and agency representatives will headline four panels, each followed by 30-minute networking sessions.
“With so many talented and motivated Virgin Islanders achieving great things throughout the diaspora, we are excited about reconnecting with these resources and attracting them to apply their skills, passion and drive to projects and initiatives in the territory,” said Dayna Clendinen, director of the USVI Division of Personnel, who added that “at this unique juncture in our history, we need the input, investment and commitment of homegrown Virgin Islanders more than ever.”
During the Career Mixer, panelists will discuss opportunities in the areas of health, human services, education, law enforcement, financial services and agencies such as the Department of Public Works and the Department of Labor that are using technology to drive innovative programs and initiatives.
