Spring into a new career at Tameside Jobs Fair

TAMESIDE residents looking to take the next step in their career or education can find support at the Spring Jobs Fair.

Dukinfield Town Hall will once again open its doors to a wide range of employers and services.

Organised by Tameside Council’s Employment and Skills Team, the free-to-attend event will be held on Wednesday, April 16, from 10am to 1pm.

Employers who will be present include The British Army, Active Tameside, Tameside Council, Parking Patrol, First Steps Together, and Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust.

They will be offering professional advice for local people to advance their career or gain confidence, support and skills – including teams such as the local authority’s Tameside in Work and Routes to Work.

More than 600 jobseekers from across the borough were connected with potential employers at last year’s Autumn Jobs Fair.

Councillor Leanne Feeley, Executive Member for Lifelong Learning and Culture, commented: “We’re really happy to be hosting another job fair and the fantastic success of previous events which have brought in around 800 residents is proof that they work and offer our residents lots of opportunity to find a new role.

“It’s a brilliant chance for residents to meet up with a large group of employers offering a variety of roles and training courses so they can find something that’s right for them. We’re encouraging everyone looking for a career change to come along and take advantage of this event and the opportunities and support available.”
