The jobs and careers fair aims to offer people who are seeking employment the opportunity to meet a range of prospective employers and apply for work. It is a chance to find out more about how to enhance employability and learn about the types of jobs available.

The Department for Communities is working in partnership with councils in delivering Labour Market Partnerships, which harness local knowledge and expertise so tailored action plans can be developed for each area’s particular needs.

Chair of Mid Ulster District Council Cllr Córa Corry said: “As lead partner of the Labour Market Partnership, Mid Ulster District Council is delighted to host this Jobs and Careers fair as we celebrate Mid Ulster Enterprise week.

"I am thrilled that so many of our local companies are participating in this job fair. It brings a large number of local employers together under one roof.”

Careers advice will be available on the day and attendees are encouraged to bring along an up-to-date CV if possible as it is a brilliant opportunity to speak with potential employers.
