SHILLONG, Dec 22: A total of 20 candidates were selected following three rigorous rounds of interviews at the first campus recruitment drive conducted by the Jio World Convention Centre (JWCC), Mumbai, in collaboration with the Emporium Skills Training Institute (ESTI-Shillong) and the Don Bosco Youth Centre (DBYC), Laitumkhrah.
The event saw 111 candidates from across Meghalaya participate, with offer letters issued on the spot—a rare and encouraging outcome for first-time campus recruitment participants.
It is pertinent to note that the JWCC is noted as one of Asia’s largest and most prestigious integrated convention, hospitality and retail destinations.
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. Subject to medical fitness and other standard company clearances, the candidates are scheduled to join the team in Mumbai on January 19.
Earlier this year, DBYC Shillong signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ESTI, a professional training institute specialising 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, Don Bosco Youth Centre Director Fr Michael Makri reiterated his commitment to bridging the gap between education and employment, particularly for unemployed and underprivileged youths. “This placement is not just about jobs; it is about dignity, hope, and a future for our young people,” he said.
