The Government of Bermuda is reminding job seekers, especially young Bermudians, to consider careers in the public service. That was the message shared during a recently held career fair for young students, where a range of public service employment options were highlighted.
To assist individuals in understanding all the job options that are available, Government shared the Your Guide to Careers in the Public Service, a resource developed to highlight the vast opportunities for professional growth within the public sector. This guide is part of the ongoing Careers in the Public Service campaign launched in June 2024, which aims to raise awareness of the diverse and impactful career options available in the public service.
In recent months as part of the Government’s efforts to energise its recruitment efforts, representatives have been more present at job fairs.
And more specifically, Government has also reintroduced a number of trainee opportunities, including Electrical Engineer and the Operations Engineer, Marine Operations Centre Controller and the First-Class Branch Pilot programmes.
In expressing his support for the career drive, the public will recall that in June, Premier David Burt, JP, MP, emphasised the importance of attracting new talent into the service saying, “The Re-imagining Careers in the Public Service Campaign aims to raise awareness and interest among young Bermudians, especially in high school and college, about the value and impact of working in the public service. It provides information to help clear some of the myths and stereotypes that may stop some people from choosing a public sector career.”
And the Head of the Public Service, Cherie Whitter, has championed the importance of reimagining careers in the public service which will help to attract diverse talent, and assist in filling hard to fill roles across government, ranging from trades to senior executive positions.
Ms. Whitter said, “These trainee programmes offer young professionals the chance to follow their passion, receive hands-on training working with experienced officers, and acquire the education, qualifications, and experience needed to build successful long-term careers in public service. In addition to the guide, a series of promotional videos have been developed to raise awareness of the diverse career opportunities in public service and highlight upcoming recruitment drives, scholarship programs, and more.”
