Job fair at Enmore call centre set for May 19 as V-Chart expands high-growth BPO operations

V-Chart Services is advancing its recruitment efforts at its Enmore facility, with the Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) partnering to support an upcoming job fair aimed at connecting more Guyanese to employment opportunities.

This comes on the heels of the continued expansion of GUYSONS K+B Industries in Enmore, East Coast Demerara, which is scaling its operations and reinforcing the area’s emergence as a growing industrial and services hub, signalling sustained investor confidence and coordinated growth within the corridor.

The company, which has been steadily expanding its presence in Guyana since 2023, is preparing to host another job fair on May 19, 2026, as part of its next phase of growth, increasing staffing levels and strengthening operational capacity.

Guyana’s rapidly expanding Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector has emerged as a key pillar of the country’s non-oil economic transformation, offering scalable, export-oriented investment opportunities. Ranked among the top value destinations for BPO in Latin America and the Caribbean, Guyana combines a competitive cost structure, an English-speaking workforce, and strong nearshore alignment with North American markets, creating a compelling platform for global service delivery.

Hon. Peter Ramsaroop, Member of Parliament and Guyana’s Chief Investment Officer, emphasised the importance of aligning investment with accessible employment opportunities for citizens.

“V-Chart represents exactly the type of investment Guyana is pursuing: technology-driven, service-oriented, and employment-intensive,” Hon. Ramsaroop stated. “However, we must ensure that our human capital pipeline keeps pace with investor demand. This is where targeted collaboration between government and industry becomes crucial.”

According to company officials, V-Chart’s Tuschen facility has already demonstrated the model’s success, employing approximately 100 workers and operating at near-optimal capacity. Building on this foundation, the Enmore facility, designed to support increased scale, is now entering a more active recruitment phase, supported by targeted outreach and coordinated engagement through an upcoming job fair.

“AI is reshaping the BPO industry, and while it brings significant pressures, it also creates opportunities to move into higher-value services. Our focus in Guyana is to stay competitive by investing in skills, adaptability, and scalable operations within a strong and supportive investment environment.” V-Chart Chairman, Vinayak Shankar, stated.

GO-Invest is working alongside the company as a partner in the initiative, supporting coordination, visibility, and outreach to ensure that opportunities are effectively communicated and accessible to job seekers.

The job fair is expected to facilitate direct engagement between applicants and the company, with immediate vacancies to be filled and on-the-spot hiring anticipated for qualified candidates. The company has indicated plans not only to scale its workforce at Enmore in the near term, but to significantly expand staffing levels as part of its broader growth strategy.

“Our goal isn’t just to fill jobs,” Ramsaroop added. “It’s to position Guyanese talent to compete amidst a constantly evolving global landscape. As companies like V-Chart continue to expand their client portfolios, particularly in multilingual markets, we must equip our workforce with the skills that match those opportunities.”

The initiative also aligns with the Government’s broader development agenda, led by His Excellency, President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, which places strong emphasis on job creation, skills development, and economic diversification.

This strategic direction is being reinforced through coordinated policy support and facilitation by the Guyana Office for Investment, aligning investor expansion with national priorities. As companies like V-Chart scale operations, Guyana is strengthening its position as a regional hub for digital services, leveraging a stable, pro-investment environment to drive exports and attract high-quality investment.

Through the planned job fair and expanded recruitment efforts, GO-Invest and V-Chart are working to ensure that investment translates directly into employment opportunities for Guyanese citizens; fulfilling the promise of inclusive, immediate, and people-centred growth.

Through its facilitation mandate, GO-Invest continues to work closely with investors to support expansion and ensure that projects deliver tangible outcomes, especially sustainable employment for Guyanese.

As Ramsaroop affirmed, “Investment is only successful when it creates opportunity. And opportunity begins with jobs.”
