Recruitment Fair Set To Draw In The Crowds – 12th July 2016
Recruitment Fair set to draw in the crowds with even more opportunities this year for job seekers.
Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council will hold its annual Recruitment Fair in Partnership with Jobcentre Plus on Tuesday 12th July 2016 from 10am until 2pm at Merthyr Tydfil Leisure Centre.
The 2016 Recruitment Fair is expected to excel previous years. This year we welcome employers who are seeking new staff members. This presents an excellent opportunity for job seekers and those preparing for the world of work to speak to employers face to face about the jobs they currently have available, and future roles. In previous years 1000’s of people have attended, and feedback has extremely positive.
There will be many employers present, including Argos, The Armed Forces, Merthyr General Dynamics, Cwm Taf Health Board and many more. There will also be partner companies’ presents to offer help and advice on CV writing, interview techniques and opportunities to access the internet to job search.
The Leader of Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, Councillor Brendan Toomey, said: “There is no doubt that the economy and unemployment is a major cause of concern for people not only living within Merthyr Tydfil but throughout the country. The aim of this Recruitment Fair is to provide a comprehensive range of services to employers to support their recruitment activities”.
“This Recruitment Fair is a great way for people to find out more about the vacancies that are on offer and to find out what other training and support is available. This is also an opportunity to meet with potential employers from global brands and successful local businesses. As with previous years, this year’s Recruitment Fair is sure to be a success and I would like to thank all those involved for making it possible.”
“There will be a wide range of exhibiting organisations for you to connect with; this is an excellent opportunity for you to market yourself to your chosen industry, and to build useful contacts for future reference. I urge anyone who is looking for work, interested in training or considering a change in career, to attend this event.”
Bernadette Jones, District Manager South East Wales Jobcentre Plus commented :”Jobcentre Plus is delighted to be working in partnership once again with Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council to bring our 13th Recruitment Fair to Merthyr Tydfil for local Jobseekers and employers.
“We know from experience that Job Fairs offer a great opportunity for both business and our customers and I hope you find that will be the case at this event.
“Our Customers who are seeking employment will have the opportunity to speak to local employers all of whom have vacancies to fill and want to recruit local people. In addition our Jobcentre and Communities for Work staff will be on hand to offer advice on job seeking and in work benefits. Our Disability Confident partners will also be on available to offer advice and guidance and to discuss the extra help you might need to overcome the sometimes difficult transition into work.
“Employers looking for staff will find our Customers have a rich diversity of life experience and skills which can enhance and invigorate their business environment. Jobcentre Plus staff can discuss with you the support we can provide to employers, such as Work Trials and Work Experience.
“I would like to add that none of this is possible without working in partnership with employers, customers and other organisations. Working together is very much the way forward for the continuing economic regeneration of Merthyr Tydfil and Jobcentre Plus is proud to be a part of this”.
