The Newry, Mourne and Down Job Fair is returning to Newry for the fifth year, with employers from throughout the district being encouraged to register for the free recruitment event taking place next month.
The Job Fair will be held on Wednesday 3 June at the Canal Court Hotel, Newry, from 10am to 1.30pm. It is delivered by the Newry, Mourne and Down Labour Market Partnership in partnership with Cross Border Partnership Employment Services.
Now in its fifth year, the event offers employers a practical and cost-effective way to raise awareness of their organisation, highlight current vacancies and meet potential recruits in person. Participation is free for all exhibiting organisations.
A broad mix of sectors will be represented on the day, including engineering, health and social care, retail, administration, logistics, construction and financial services. Employers can promote a range of roles, whether permanent, temporary, part-time or flexible positions. Attendees typically include people at all stages of their career, from those entering the workforce for the first time to experienced candidates considering a new direction.
Labour Market Partnerships are funded by the Department for Communities and create targeted employment action plans for council areas, supporting collaboration at local and regional level to help people into work. The Job Fair forms a key part of this approach.
Councillor Philip Campbell, Chairperson of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, said: "The Job Fair continues to play an important role in supporting local economic growth by helping employers find the people they need.
"It also gives jobseekers the chance to engage directly with organisations in a relaxed and informative setting. We've seen strong interest from businesses in previous years, and we would encourage early registration again this year."
