North Lincolnshire businesses are being invited to invest in a motivated and skilled workforce by signing up to the next North Lincolnshire Jobs Expo.
Taking place on Wednesday 7 February at Scunthorpe’s Baths Hall, the Jobs Expo attracts hundreds of jobseekers and upskillers looking to improve their prospects and develop their careers.
Employers who have attended previous Expos report positive results from engaging directly with potential new employees.
Comments from businesses who attended previous Jobs Expos include:
An exit poll of jobseekers at a previous Jobs Expo found that of the more than 700 people who attended the event, the majority said it had been worthwhile them attending, with 64 per cent saying they would definitely be applying for vacancies and another 14 per cent said they were considering doing so.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “The kind of North Lincolnshire we want to build relies on high-quality sustainable jobs and a well-trained, motivated workforce. The Jobs Expo helps us go a long way towards achieving this.
“Supporting businesses to get the people and skills they need will help build back our economy better, improving the outcomes for every family in North Lincolnshire.”
Exhibitors will get access to the Baths Hall from 11am and free parking is available in nearby Dene Avenue. A table and power is supplied as well as free tea and coffee. Further information: events@northlincs.gov.uk
