Goan potential

A beautiful dot on the map of India, and a perfect place to relax, Goa means different things to many people.  For some it’s their home, yet for others, a tourist destination, and for some others it’s their workplace. Goa is already popularized as one of the tourist hotspots in India, but rarely have people emphasized on the ‘workplace’ aspect in Goa. Instead of flocking to places like Bombay, staying back in Goa for Goans has its own advantages. As educational institutes like the ‘Industrial Institute of Goa’ offer chances to be electricians, plumbers, carpenters, air conditioner mechanic and various others, these could provide Goans with a source of income, as houses often require maintenance. With an ample amount of colleges offering educational courses like ‘Mass Communication’ offered by St. Xavier’s College among others, there exist educational potential which Goans can tap into. Though provided a late start, the workforce in Goa has remarkable potential. Edelviz, Webware.io and Expogroup, are just few of the options Goans have in a budding work environment. Started in 2010, Edelviz is a German based group which deals in visualising the interiors, as well as exteriors of buildings. If a building wants to stand out from the rest, in terms of its architectural design, all they have to do is reach out to Edelviz, in Patto, Panjim, and let them take care of the rest.  Offering a spectacular view in Ribandar, Goa Webware.io provides a fantastic opportunity for innovative website designs, for its client in the U.S and Canada since 2012. Managing trade fairs of diverse industries in the Middle East and Africa among others, Expogroup located in Porvorim, has been managing fairs and exhibitions since 1996. These are few of the vast companies who have invested in both the North and South districts of Goa. A Catholic TV channel which has expanded its services to promote new talents of Goa, and educate people, along with helping promote God’s message is a remarkable feat. There are plenty of platforms in Goa, which could help Goans in diverse ways. Indeed is a great online portal that can help Goans to discover the numerous job opportunities in Goa. It’s ridiculous to have the notion that Goans are lazy when companies are realizing Goa’s potential. With more companies coming in, it’s time for Goans to prove their worth, equipping themselves with education. Goans have witnessed false promises by politicians, which become the forefront during elections. If Goans are truly interested in helping themselves, they need to procure a decent education and a job in Goa, instead of falling prey to deceiving liars, whose works are put on public display, for you to be the judge.
