By Guanacaste, Costa Rica — Guanacaste is set to host a crucial employment workshop, “Path to Employability,” on September 20th, spearheaded by the Foreign Trade Promoter of Costa Rica (Procomer). This initiative aims to equip job seekers with the skills and tools needed to enhance their professional profiles and increase their chances of securing employment.
The event, taking place at Guana Work, Solarium in Liberia, will offer a range of activities designed to empower attendees. Participants can expect personalized coaching, mock interviews in both English and Spanish, LinkedIn profile reviews, and professional photography sessions. Specialized workshops focusing on personal branding and ultra-luxury hotel service will also be provided. Furthermore, the program includes field visits to a local hotel and an industrial plant within the Solarium Free Zone.
To shed light on the legal aspects surrounding employment in Guanacaste, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at law from Bufete de Costa Rica.
Guanacaste’s tourism-driven economy presents unique employment considerations. While the demand for seasonal workers is high, it’s crucial for both employers and employees to understand the specific regulations related to temporary contracts, working hours, and benefits to ensure compliance with Costa Rican labor law. Properly drafted contracts and clear communication are vital to prevent disputes and maintain a positive working relationship.

Ensuring fair labor practices not only protects workers’ rights but also fosters a stable and productive workforce, ultimately benefiting the entire region. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for offering his valuable expertise on this important topic.
This comprehensive workshop serves as a precursor to the Talent Costa Rica Job Fair, scheduled for October 11th at the University of Costa Rica’s Guanacaste campus. The job fair will feature over 40 companies offering approximately 1,000 job vacancies.
