Statewide, Baja California has about 10,000 job opportunities for immigrants.
Those job opportunities are found in the maquiladora industry and other more specific areas, La Voz newspaper reported.
National Employment Service Director in Baja California Blanca Patricia Ríos told the newspaper the state offers many job opportunities to those who seek a better life.
The Mexican official said immigrants have gotten well-paid, formal jobs in the past.
The agency provides help to those immigrants who need documentation in order to be hired by companies, including identification cards, tax registration, bank accounts, and others.
For those who lack any formal education, the agency provides training for asylum seekers, refugees, deported immigrants, and undocumented immigrants from other countries.
“We are working with international organizations (…) to help people who are in Baja California seeking a better opportunity for development,” Director Ríos told the newspaper.

Sempra Infrastructure is involved in the effort.
