Shillong, Dec 22: The Jio World Convention Centre (JWCC), Mumbai, one of Asia’s largest integrated convention, hospitality and retail destinations, conducted its first campus recruitment drive in collaboration with the Emporium Skills Training Institute (ESTI–Shillong) and the Don Bosco Youth Centre (DBYC), Laitumkhrah, Shillong.
A total of 111 candidates from across Meghalaya participated in the recruitment process. Following three rigorous rounds of interviews, 20 candidates were finally selected, with offer letters issued on the spot.
The selected candidates have been offered competitive salary packages along with comprehensive benefits, including accommodation, daily transportation, on-duty meals, medical insurance for self and family, joining air tickets and statutory benefits such as provident fund and gratuity, a press release stated today. Subject to medical fitness and other standard company clearances, the candidates are scheduled to join the Jio World Convention Centre on January 19.
The success of this recruitment drive is the result of sustained and focused efforts by the Don Bosco Youth Centre, Shillong, a well-known Salesian institution dedicated to the holistic development and employability of young people, especially those from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds. For decades, DBYC has been at the forefront of vocational training, skill development, career guidance, and job placement, empowering thousands of youths in Meghalaya to become self-reliant and confident contributors to society.
Earlier this year, DBYC Shillong signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ESTI, a professional training institute specializing in Aviation, Hospitality, and Cruise Line sectors. Through this partnership, youths from various districts of Meghalaya were trained in industry-relevant skills, soft skills, discipline, and work ethics, preparing them to meet national and international employment standards.
Speaking on the occasion, DBYC Director Fr Michael Makri reiterated their commitment to bridging the gap between education and employment, particularly for unemployed and underprivileged youth. “This placement is not just about jobs; it is about dignity, hope, and a future for our young people,” he said.
