Tuesday 26th June 10.00-15.00 at Winter Gardens, Margate
On Tuesday 26th June, Thanet’s two MPs, Laura Sandys
and Sir Roger Gale will host the area’s first MPs’ Jobs and
Apprenticeships Fair at the Winter Gardens in Margate. The Minister of
State for Employment, The Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP will be officially
opening the event which will run from 10.00-15.00.
Laura said "Hundreds of jobs and apprenticeships in a wide variety
of sectors will be on offer on the day. This is a fantastic opportunity
for jobseekers to meet with lots of local employers all under one roof!
We already have over 50 exhibitors confirmed ranging from small
independent businesses right through to some of the biggest household
names. It’s going to be a one-stop shop with free workshops on offer
providing useful tips on CV writing and interview skills. We’ll also
have start-up and apprentice advice for anyone thinking of pursuing a
different route.
"It is not an easy time for jobseekers and I wanted to organise a
jobs and apprenticeships fair to help get involved with the
practicalities of bringing real job opportunities of all shapes and
sizes to those looking for work at the moment. I am keen to do
everything I can to help our local jobseekers at the same time as
helping our local businesses recruit fresh talent."
And Roger adds: "We know that there are many people, of all ages,
in Thanet who want to work or who want training or who want to change
jobs. There are also, contrary to popular belief, many opportunities
available as well and this fair is designed to bring the two together
and to help to match would-be employers with would-be employees. While
there are a number of agencies engaged in this process already
experience shows that events of this kind really can make a difference
and bring people together in a very positive way in a welcoming
environment. So, if you are an employer looking for new staff or if you
are a jobseeker looking for a break, come and join us".
The event which has been organised by Laura and Sir Roger has been
kindly sponsored by Pfizer and Thanet Leisureforce. All stands have been
made available free of charge to help support local businesses and
organisations- the only condition being that they must have vacancies on
offer.
