A new round of job opportunities will be made available in El Salvador as more than 400 positions are set to be offered on October 28 at the Historic Center of San Salvador. The announcement was made by the Planning Authority of the Historic Center of San Salvador (APLAN).

APLAN director Adriana Larín explained that the “Oportunidades” job fair will be carried out in coordination with the NGO Cesal. The event will take place at the Hula Hula market’s food court on Tuesday, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., on the building’s fifth level.

“There are more than 400 positions available that people of different ages will be able to apply for,” Larín said during a radio interview. Major companies such as Pizza Hut, Wendy’s, KFC, and Starbucks will participate, in addition to well-known Salvadoran brands including La Clásica and La Dalia.

The Presidential Press Secretariat also confirmed the participation of China Wok, Llaollao, Los Sánchez, helados Sarita, Pollo Campestre, El Peche Cosme, Milenio, Grupo Cardedeu, Comapronto, pan Liliam, and Pipiris Nais.

This is the second edition of the fair. The first was held in June in the same location and also offered 400 vacancies. According to Larín, this new hiring wave is tied to the upcoming Christmas season, although several of the positions will also be permanent. The companies expect strong demand toward the end of the year, especially with the opening of the Villa Navideña in December.
