SEASONS GREETINGS FROM E-JAM

END OF YEAR MESSAGE

In reviewing our achievements of this year and reflecting on our future directions, I would like to start off by acknowledging our employees.

E-JAM Welcomes Home Their Workers!

We congratulate the majority of our returning workers for doing a good job and making our country proud.

During the past few weeks, scores of E-JAM’s H2B workers returned to Jamaica after completing their work assignments in the U.S. For some, this was their second, third, and fourth time on the work program.

“When I went to the Hilton Hotel, Marco Island, Florida, at first I had problems adjusting to the new environment. After a short while my job as a housekeeper got easier and the experience became more exciting.
