600 hi-tech workers needed in capital
Employment fair to be held in Jerusalem next Wednesday
Jerusalem's industrial sector is seeking 1,000 additional employees, including 600 workers for the hi-tech industry, Chairman of the Manufacturers Association's Jerusalem district and Tuttnauer company CEO Ran Tuttnauer said Thursday.
Tuttnauer estimated that about 500 new employees were hired by companies in the capital in 2005, with 70 percent going to hi-tech firms.
Twenty Jerusalem plants are currently looking for software and hardware engineers, programmers, welders, turners, CNC operators, locksmiths, sales people and pharmacists, Tuttnauer said.
An employment fair will be held in Jerusalem next Wednesday in a bid to help the 20 participating plants man the proposed jobs.
The companies expected to attend the fair include Intel, NDS, Bioline, Servision, Gamatronic and many others.
Organizers of the event said that in the previous fair, held in June of this year, 550 positions were on offer and 40 percent of them were filled.
