Employ վ successfully hosted its first jobs fair in two years at վ Library last week.

Around 500 people came along on the day to find out more about over 2,000 local job and training opportunities in the area.

Local employers from a wide range of industries including retail, construction, hospitality, driving, financial, social care and airport services, were on hand to offer advice to potential applicants alongside the Employ վ team. 

Comments from local employers at the fair included: 
“Friendly team and a diverse range of candidates”
“Great buzz in the room”
“Friendliest job fair with a great atmosphere.”

I am delighted to see how successful this year’s event was. It was great to see so many local people come along and take advantage of the help and advice on offer. I hope that it helped them to secure employment and training.
