On Nov. 6, more than 30<br />

Central Florida Hotel &<br />

Lodging Association companies<br />

participated in a Hurricane<br />

Relief Hospitality Career Fair with<br />

the purpose of securing employment<br />

for those who fled to Central<br />

Florida in the aftermath of the destructive<br />

hurricane season that<br />

impacted Puerto Rico and neighboring<br />

islands. The complimentary<br />

job fair, held in partnership with<br />

CareerSource Central Florida,<br />

Latino Leadership, Puerto Rico<br />

Family Response Center, and Heart<br />

of Florida United Way, led to the<br />

employment of approximately 100<br />

job seekers.<br />

Thanks to a robust Central Florida<br />

tourism industry, many career<br />

opportunities exist for those who<br />

have relocated to our region and are<br />

in need of meaningful employment.<br />

CFHLA maintains a brief listing of job<br />

opportunities on its website at www.<br />

cfhla.org/employment-opportunities.<br />

In addition to conducting the career<br />

fair, the CFHLA Foundation, in<br />

partnership with CFHLA members,<br />

donated $13,000 to Fondos Unidos<br />

(United Way) of Puerto Rico to assist<br />

in recovery efforts on the island.<br />

CFHLA will also be sending hospitality<br />

industry representatives to Puerto<br />

Rico in the coming months to meet<br />

with those on the island who may<br />

be interested in relocating to Central<br />

Florida to pursue a “new chapter”<br />

and are available to work in the<br />

hospitality industry. ª
