The government's Workforce Opportunities and Residency Cayman is replacing its beleaguered Jobs Cayman portal, an online job ad system.

After a high of more than 1,800 job postings at the start of the year, local employment opportunities on government's jobs portal have declined.

Government's overhaul of its employment portal JobsCayman is expected to cost $1.3 million, about 1,300% more than the total cost for the existing gateway, the Ministry of Border Control and Labour has confirmed.

Government's employment portal JobsCayman is set for a major overhaul, Workforce Opportunities and Residency Cayman Director Jeremy Scott has said.

Cabinet has approved new regulations requiring the advertising of temporary job vacancies on the Workforce Opportunities and Residency Cayman JobsCayman portal prior to submitting temporary work permit applications for the positions.

Workforce Opportunities & Residency Cayman said it will, in the coming weeks, launch an online system to allow job-seekers to search employment openings posted by registered employers.
