The ‘Get Set’ roadshow is coming to Lisburn City Library

The event, entitled ‘Get Set’, is one in a series of roadshows being staged at various libraries across Northern Ireland. At each library a range of providers will be on hand to provide advice and offer support to those looking for work, applying for jobs, going for interviews, coping with redundancy or aiming to start their own business.

Exhibitors at the road show include the Prince’s Trust, NI Direct, the Money Advice Service, the Social Security Agency and many more.

Tracy Dempsey of Soul Ambition will also be in the library to deliver a motivational workshop that will focus on ways to boost your confidence when job hunting. This workshop which is called ‘Hire Me - I’m Worth It!’ will take place from 2.30pm until 4pm.

Valerie Nicholson, Adult Learning Manager with Libraries NI explained: “Libraries NI is excited about bringing a range of employment and training organisations together in this way. We hope that it will act as a real drive to support local people in their search for employment and help entrepreneurs get the advice they need to start their business of the future.

“With free computer sessions and trained staff to provide advice and support, our libraries can support jobseekers and entrepreneurs in many ways, especially in today’s climate when so much information is available online.”

Representatives from Libraries NI will be present at the roadshow to demonstrate how to use library resources to help customers find the right job related information.

Admission to the event is free and refreshments will be provided. For further information contact Lisburn City Library (23 Linenhall Street, BT28 1FJ) on 028 9263 3350 or email [email protected].
