A free event to highlight employment opportunities, career guidance and training in the West Lindsey area of Lincolnshire will take place next month.
The West Lindsey Employment & Skills Partnership is sponsoring an Autumn Jobs and Training Fair, supported by the Department for Work & Pensions on Wednesday 1 November 2023.
This interactive and informative event will take place at the Riverside Room in Gainsborough, between 10am-2pm and offers all residents access to help and advice from employers, training providers and advice agencies.
Local employers and organisations promoting career opportunities and training in the district, will be available to talk to, with experts on hand to talk about the skills employers are looking for.
Graham Metcalfe, Partnership Manager for the DWP, said: “We have worked closely with the Council and the Skills Partnership over many years to assist with the running of similar events, which provide employers and partners with an opportunity to connect their offers to the customer base. These events provide great outcomes for those able to attend. We look forward to supporting November’s event.”
West Lindsey District Council is a member of the Skills Partnership and will sponsor the event. Amanda Bouttell who is the employment and skills lead for the Council is currently lining up employers to attend with job vacancies. She said:“We’re fully committed to meeting the needs of local employers by promoting job vacancies to those seeking work. The Jobs Fair is also a great way for individuals to speak with employer’s face to face.
“They can collect information, ask questions, apply for jobs or even have a mini-interview. The event aims to give individuals that extra confidence boost to apply for job roles.”
