Construction, engineering and the energy sectors will be at the forefront of an employment support event next week.

Representatives from a range of businesses, including CHAP, Robertsons, Vital Energi and Balfour Beatty will be on hand to offer 1-2-1 support and small group workshops, and attendees will get the opportunity to learn about the varying roles within the sectors.
Guests will also hear from people working at different levels across the industries, from apprentices to industry professionals, about their experiences and how they have progressed in their careers.
The ABZWorks Employability Support Fair is for people of all ages and will provide an exciting introduction to the sectors and roles available in them.
Several of the companies are hiring, and attendees are encouraged to bring their CVs along to apply for opportunities such as apprenticeships, graduate positions, administrative roles, and entry level positions.
