- The meeting organised by the IFOC puts job seekers in direct contact with hoteliers
- A new meeting will be held in April to fill 120 vacancies at Meliá Hotels International
The Job Fair was held for the first time on Tuesday at the Casal de Peguera, organised by the IFOC (Training and Employment Institute of Calvià) in collaboration with the Hotel Association of Peguera and Cala Fornells. 149 vacancies have been offered to cover the summer season in hotel establishments in the area. The IFOC has been in charge of the pre-registration of job seekers and has advised those who have applied on how to prepare for a job interview and how to write a CV. Some of the 11 participating establishments belong to chains, so the offer has been expanded to 17 hotels. Peguera is one of the most important tourist areas in the municipality, with 5.000 hotel beds.
Mayor Juan Antonio Amengual stated that "the important thing is to ensure that the municipality's citizens can access quality jobs here, so that they can live and develop their life project in Calvià. The collaboration between IFOC and private companies is a step forward." Our objective for this legislature is to break with seasonality and offer more working months to Calvià residents."
The hotels that participated in the Job Fair at the Casal de Peguera are as follows:
- Aethos Mallorca
- Allsun Hotels
- Aparthotel Novo Mar
- Hapimag Resort Paguera
- Hotel Cala Fornells
- Hotel Coronado Thalasso & Spa
- Hotel Morlans
- Hotel Vibra Beverly Playa
- Secrets Mallorca Villamil Resort & Spa
- Valentin Grand Park Suite Hotel

The event is part of a plan of worker selection meetings with hotel and service companies—Hotel Bendinat, Allsun Hotels, Hotel Dreams Calvià, Zafiro, Kimpton Aysla Mallorca, BQ Hotels, Mercadona, and Eroski—to facilitate the hiring of Calvià residents in the municipality. Thus, a new selection event has been scheduled for April with Meliá Hotels International, which will offer 120 jobs.
