**Job Fair for People in Mobility Context to be Held in Tijuana**
This Thursday, a job fair specifically designed for individuals in a mobility context will take place in Tijuana. Aimed at providing job opportunities to those who have relocated or are in transit, the fair will offer around 2,500 job positions. These roles will be provided by 25 participating companies, covering sectors such as restaurants, translation, administrative, and operational areas, according to Juan Abel Hidalgo, coordinator of Tijuana’s regional unit from the National Employment Service.
The event will be hosted at the Comunidad AVES community center, adjacent to María Auxiliadora parish and Oratorio, located on Pichilingue Avenue 5894 in the Herrera neighborhood. The fair will run from 9 AM to 1 PM. A similar event is also scheduled for Friday, November 8, in Mexicali at Plaza del Mariachi for those in similar mobility contexts.
Hidalgo explained that the goal of the fair is to secure formal employment for at least 250 attendees. Cristina Juarez, a logistics consultant at Comunidad AVES, stated that applicants need to present an RFC, CURP, an identity card issued by the National Institute of Migration, or a humanitarian visitor card, along with a social security number. If applicants do not have educational credentials, companies are prepared to conduct competency interviews and other aptitude tests.
Alongside employers, representatives from various authorities and civil associations, including the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), will be available to guide job seekers through registration and other necessary procedures. Assistance with other formalities, such as obtaining a Federal Taxpayer Registry (RFC) and a bank card, will also be provided.
**Secondary Article: Migrant and Border Concerns in Baja California**
Recently, tensions have been escalating at the Baja California border. There have been reports of confrontations involving migrants and alleged smugglers, commonly referred to as “polleros,” with the National Guard in Tecate. This ongoing situation has caught the attention of the state’s governor, who has been closely monitoring the developments.
Moreover, concerns have been raised regarding potential changes in U.S. immigration policies, especially with talk of increased deportations if certain political leaders come to power again. The state of Baja California, which has historically seen significant migration activities due to its proximity to the U.S., is preparing for possible changes. The administration plans to monitor developments closely to safeguard the interests of both local residents and those in transit.
In light of these issues, community efforts like the aforementioned job fairs for people in a mobility context become crucial in supporting affected individuals. These initiatives not only aim to facilitate integration into the local workforce but also help mitigate some of the challenges faced by migrants and transitory populations in the region.
