Finding a job in Guyana could become easier with the relaunch of the National Job Bank, which now uses artificial intelligence to help connect job seekers with employers.

The upgraded platform allows people across all 10 regions to create profiles, upload résumés, search vacancies and apply online. Employers can also register and advertise vacancies for free, giving businesses another way to reach potential workers.

The platform is available at jobs.gov.gy.

At Friday's relaunch, Senior Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance Dr Ashni Singh said Guyana's changing economy is creating demand for skills that were not as sought after five years ago.

He encouraged employers to make greater use of the platform by posting vacancies, while urging people who are already employed to explore opportunities for career advancement.

Singh said more than 156,000 jobs were created over the past five years. Government figures published in its 2026 Mid-Year Report show that unemployment fell from 12.8 per cent in the first quarter of 2020 to 6.2 per cent in the final quarter of 2025.

The National Job Bank was first launched in March 2022 as part of an expansion of the Central Recruitment and Manpower Agency's services. The latest upgrade was spearheaded by Labour and Manpower Planning Minister Keoma Griffith and his team.
