Employ Â鶹´«Ã½ successfully hosted its first jobs fair in two years at Â鶹´«Ã½ 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 Â鶹´«Ã½ team.
Comments from local employers at the fair included:
“Friendly team and a diverse range of candidatesâ€
“Great buzz in the roomâ€
“Friendliest job fair with a great atmosphere.â€
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.
