The event is hosted by the Department for Communities, in partnership with Newry, Mourne and Down District Council and EURES Cross Border Partnership.
Representatives from across many different sectors are taking part, including the manufacturing, hospitality, care and retail sectors. These employers will be on hand to answer questions and discuss training and employment opportunities with anyone interested.
Councillor Mark Murnin, Chairperson of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council said, “Economic development and the provision of local jobs within the district is a major priority within the Council’s Corporate Plan. This event is an important driver towards these objectives and the Council is delighted to be partnering with the Department for Communities and EURES Cross Border Partnership in bringing this event to Newry.”
Aiming to offer those seeking employment the opportunity to meet a range of prospective employers and apply for work, it is a chance to enhance your employability and learn about the types of jobs that are currently available.
Stephen McGlew from the Department for Communities said “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Newry, Mourne and Down District Council in organising and delivering this job fair.
This initiative is an excellent opportunity to make connections, get advice, and apply for real employment opportunities; and really does promote the spirit of the ‘Local Works!’ agenda, which aims to bring together local stakeholders to work in close partnership and deliver recruitment initiatives that are tailored to shared local needs.”
Joe Lavery, EURES Cross Border Partnership Ireland – N Ireland Coordinator said: “The job fair will showcase a range of employers and vacancies in the cross border area and give jobseekers as well as job changers from both jurisdictions the opportunity to seize local, worthwhile opportunities. We are looking forward to a very successful event.”
Paula Ludlow, HR Services Manager from Translink, one of the employers attending the Job Fair, said “Translink are delighted to be able to participate in this event to promote the diverse range of employment opportunities across the company and in particular, their current vacancies for Bus Drivers in the Newry area”.
