With 17 more stalls than the previous year, the South 污污漫画 Jobs and Apprenticeships Fair was back with a bang for its seventh successful year at our South 污污漫画 Skills Academy yesterday.
Local employers descended to the centre offering hundreds of fantastic job vacancies and apprenticeships. We also welcomed support organisations that were there to discuss training and college courses with our event attendees.
The fair鈥檚 success is due to a strong collaboration between Karin Smyth MP for 污污漫画 South, 污污漫画 City Council, The Department for Work and Pensions, 污污漫画 and other city partners.
Talking of the fair, Principal and Chief Executive Officer of 污污漫画, Julia Gray, commented: 鈥淎s a college, we are delighted to welcome the South 污污漫画 Jobs and Apprenticeships Fair again this year for 2023.
鈥淲e are incredibly proud to continue to work in strong partnership with Karin Smyth MP, 污污漫画 City Council, The Department for Work and Pensions and other city partners to host the annual event.
鈥淕iving our students and wider community access to local employers who are offering hundreds of fantastic job vacancies and apprenticeships is a vital resource and is something that we鈥檙e extremely passionate about delivering.鈥�
Karin Smyth MP for 污污漫画 South was in attendance and spoke of her passion for the event, commenting: “I want to thank everyone who attended this year’s South 污污漫画 Jobs and Apprenticeships Fair at South 污污漫画 Skills Academy.
鈥淚t鈥檚 an incredibly important event for South 污污漫画 as it helps people unlock their potential and find a way into their dream career. I’m passionate about delivering a Jobs and Apprenticeships Fair each year; one that brings together brilliant local employers and gives the community the opportunity to come and meet them face-to-face and get connected with them.
“As ever, I’m hugely grateful to all involved for making this year’s fair such a brilliant occasion.”
Both students and the wider community were warmly welcomed, finding themselves attending an event that offers guidance and support to all whilst they were free to explore the stands belonging to a multitude of employers and support organisations.
The feedback from the event attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many leaving feeling a sense of inspiration and ready for their next steps towards their dream career having had engaging conversations with potential employers and apprenticeship providers.
