City of York Council and its partners are inviting residents to the eighth York Jobs Fair, which will be held at York Railway Institute on Thursday 14 April.
Around 70 organisations will be represented at this year’s event. These include a range of different employers who represent the wide variety of jobs and careers available in York. Those present will include Network Rail, Primark, National Railway Museum, Royal York Hotel, Hiscox, North Yorkshire Police, NHS York Teaching Hospital and organisations attending the Jobs Fair for the first time, such as Hampton by Hilton and Yorkshire Ambulance Service.
The Jobs Fair is aimed at those looking for employment, considering a change of job or career and those who would like to develop new skills and gain new qualifications. The event is organised through partnerships between the council, York Learning and Job Centre Plus and is sponsored by local employer, Hiscox.
All employers have current and future vacancies within their organisations. Around 370 jobs are available currently amongst the organisations attending, with an additional 860 positions predicted to arise over the next 12 to 18 months.
A selection of training providers will be offering apprenticeships and work based training. There will also be other support agencies offering careers advice and training opportunities.
Councillor Chris Steward, Leader of City of York Council said: “Once again it’s great to see so many organisations supporting the event and lending their skills and expertise to make York Jobs Fair a continuing success. York Jobs Fair is not only for jobseekers but it will be of interest to all residents thinking of changing or progressing their career.”
York Jobs Fair is free to attend and available to everyone. Residents are invited to drop in between 10am and 3pm. For further information visit www.yortime.org.uk
