Jones, Professor Emeritus in the College of Education, North Carolina State University, who is on a four-day visit to Jamaica as special presenter at the "Get Ready For Work Career & Education Expo" set for Hilton Kingston Hotel today and tomorrow. Designed to give Jamaicans an understanding of the job market and the types of skills and qualifications required for various jobs, the Expo is targeted a students, graduates of high schools and tertiary institutions, parents and persons wishing to upgrade their skills base.
More than 50 exhibitors will participate in the Career & Education Expo, which will also feature an Internet Café sponsored by Ultimate (Ja.) Ltd., where visitors will be able to access the Career Key.
