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
