“Our Jobs Fair held in March this year had 1,000 visitors and 59 employers and training organisations. We’re expecting to better that on 17 September so please come along.
“At this next Jobs Fair, you can find out about upskilling or getting training, as well as updating your CV or brushing up interview skills. With that preparation in hand, job seekers can meet the organisations and businesses who have vacancies to fill – some with immediate starts, so come prepared for interviews and job offers!”
