WORC Launches New Services Portal - WORC
Important Changes to WORC Services
Grand Cayman, 27 May 2024 – In an effort to better service customers, Workforce Opportunities & Residency Cayman (WORC) will be going through a transition period and changes in services will occur.
JobsCayman Portal Goes Offline
Effective 11:59 pm on Wednesday, 29 May, the current JobsCayman portal will no longer be available. This includes payments, job seeker registration, employer registration, posting job ads, and applying for jobs.
Customer Care Relocates to Artemis House – 67 Fort Street George Town
Effective, Monday 3 June, the Customer Care services will relocate to Artemis House. Customers will be able to access the same services that were offered at Apollo House West such as:
- Payments
- Submission of Applications
- Passport Endorsement Stamps
Customers can park at the Apollo House West parking lot and follow the signs to Artemis House. All other WORC services remain at Apollo House West which include the Employment Services and Training & Development Unit for Caymanians seeking employment or training.
WORC Online Services & Temporary Payment Arrangements
As the existing JobsCayman online portal goes offline, a site offering reduced online services will be available on 3 June. This site is temporary and will allow the final developing and testing of the new WORC Jobs & Online Payment Services which is anticipated to launch on 18 June 2024.
The temporary site will have the following key functionalities:
- Employers can continue to post job advertisements on worc.ky, and
- Job-seekers can still search and apply for jobs on worc.ky.
However, payments must be made in-person. Customers submitting three (3) or more applications are encouraged to utilize the corporate drop bag to reduce wait times. Customer Care Officers will be on hand to review documents and ensure drop off is handled as efficiently as possible.
Passport Endorsement Stamps for Immediate Travel
WORC requests that during this time of transition only persons with immediate travel plans who want to secure a passport endorsement stamp to do so within ten (10) days before travelling. This measure will assist WORC in managing the high demand of this service as the summer approaches and persons travel plans increase. Persons are also reminded that a valid permit license can also be used as a travel document.
WORC appreciates your understanding and cooperation as these changes commence to enhance our service delivery. The office number remains the same at 945-9672, toll free 1-800-534-9672 or email WORC@gov.ky. For further updates on these changes visit worc.ky or follow on Facebook and Instagram.
Grand Cayman, 26 July 2024 - Workforce Opportunities & Residency Cayman (WORC) has launched the new Jobs & Online Payment Services portal. The new portal replaces JobsCayman and promises to be more efficient and easier to navigate.
Caymanian job seekers are now able to select and track job posts they find desirable and want to apply for and applying for more than one job at a time can be done with the new ‘quick apply’ feature.
The sign-up process has been optimized to be quick and straightforward for both employers and Caymanian job seekers. Employers can now more efficiently manage job postings and applicants, while those with multiple businesses under one company will benefit from a simplified and streamlined process.
WORC Director Jeremy Scott said, “We are pleased to finally launch the new portal which we hope job seekers and employers will find easier to use creating an overall better online experience. We had some challenges but worked through them to be able to launch a product we are proud of. We are committed to improving our technology where we can to provide greater customer service to our valued customers.”
The payment section of the portal has been enhanced to provide a more user-friendly experience, featuring an improved method for executing group transactions. The system is now capable of processing these transactions individually.
Caymanian job seekers or employers wanting to register to use the portal should visit worc.ky or contact Customer Care at 945-9672 or email WORCServices@gov.ky with any questions.
