Cllr Peter Kilbane, Executive Member for Economy and Culture at City of York Council, said: “Wherever you are in your working life and whatever direction you want your career to take, the Fair can help you meet your goals.
“You’ll meet organisations which can help you into the work you want, or into the training that’ll help take you there. And come prepared for interviews as there’ll be a wide range of employer who are ready to recruit.”
“There are hundreds of worthwhile and rewarding job opportunities across the city, so please come along and take the next steps in your career.”
Jo North, Employer Adviser at York Jobcentre, said: “This is a great new venue for our Jobs Fair. With around 20 employers and training providers present, this offers a great chance to network, engage directly with employers, explore job and career options, and possibly find hidden opportunities as not all jobs are advertised online.
“The event also offers the prospect of finding out more from training providers about their courses and support.”
The Jobs Fair is funded by City of York Council and run by York Learning and Job Centre Plus.
It will be held on Tuesday 16 July 2024, from 11am – 2pm at the LNER Lounge, Community Stadium, Kathryn Avenue, Huntington, York YO32 9AF. Parking is available at the stadium and is free for up to four hours, or use First Bus 9 (Park & Ride) from the city centre.
