Mid Ulster Jobs & Apprenticeships Fair to be held during Mid Ulster Enterprise Week
This year the Mid Ulster Jobs and Apprenticeships Fair, organised by Mid Ulster Labour Market Partnership in collaboration with Mid Ulster District Council and Department for Communities, will take place during Mid Ulster Enterprise Week.
The fair will take place on Wednesday, 20 November from 12pm to 3pm at The Burnavon Theatre, Cookstown and admission is free.
Labour Market Partnerships, which create targeted employment action plans for council areas, are funded by the Department for Communities, and allow for collaboration at local and regional level to support people towards and into work.
Over 50 employers will take part, with representatives from a range of employment sectors, with many more on hand to answer questions and discuss employment and apprenticeship opportunities.
The jobs and apprenticeships 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.
Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Eugene McConnell, said:
Now in its sixth year, the Council’s annual Mid Ulster Enterprise Week has become a staple in the calendar for local businesses. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to hold the popular Mid Ulster Jobs and Apprenticeships Fair during this week which caters so specifically for the business sector. This will help maximise participation from our thriving business community, bringing a large number of local employers under one roof, providing a unique opportunity for attendees to explore a wide range of employment options in a short amount of time.
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.
