Jobseekers in Aberdeen will have an opportunity to meet local employers looking to fill vacancies at a Jobs Fair, from 10am until 3pm on Thursday 27 March, at the Beach Ballroom.
ABZWorks, Aberdeen City Council’s Employability and Skills service, has organised the free-to-attend event, in partnership with the Department of Works and Pensions.
Aberdeen City Council Co-Leader Councillor Christian Allard said: “Employability, supporting people into work, and helping to alleviate poverty are key themes and priorities for Aberdeen City Council.
“With local employers keen to fill vacancies and ABZWorks staff available to offer support I would encourage jobseekers to seize the opportunity and go along to the Jobs Fair. Thanks to King Coaches there will be a free bus shuttle service on offer to help jobseekers get to-and-from the Jobs Fair.”
Around 30 companies will be at the event including the Scottish Child Minding Association, Andron, Cornerstone, Stagecoach, First Bus, HMP Grampian, Aldi and ScotRail.
Attendees are advised to bring copies of their CVs and Right to Work in UK documentation as they will have the chance to chat to employers face-to-face to discuss current vacancies and to apply for jobs.
ABZWorks employability staff will be on hand to provide support and guidance. Attendees are welcome to bring someone with them for support.
The first hour of the event (10am-11am) will be a quiet hour for people with additional support needs.
