Council hosts jobs fair to connect residents with local employers and skills providers.  

On Thursday 2 October, residents are invited to attend a Jobs Fair to connect with local employers, training providers and support services. 

Melton Borough Council in partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions will host the event at Melton Borough Council Parkside Offices between 12:30pm and 3:30pm. 

Aiming to boost local employment and support the local workforce, the event will give residents the chance to meet directly with recruiters, explore career pathways, and access tailored guidance on getting back into the workforce or change careers. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to practise engaging with businesses in a supportive environment while receiving guidance on how to take their next steps.  

Cllr Pip Allnatt, Leader of the Council said, “Supporting our communities by creating better opportunities for young people and helping our residents to secure employment is a key priority for us. Building on the success of previous events, we are pleased to be working with our partners at Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) once again to support our communities and local workforce.” 
 

Cllr Sharon Butcher, Portfolio Holder for Economic Growth, Town Centre and Leisure, added “These events are a great chance for residents to connect with key organisations and for businesses to tap into the wealth of local talent. Working closely with the DWP, local employers and our partners we are helping to ensure people get the right support, grow in confidence, and discover more pathways into work.” 

The event is free and open to all residents. Attendees are encouraged to bring copies of their CV and be ready to speak with employers on the day.  

Melton Borough Council Parkside Offices are located at Station Approach, Burton Street, Melton Mowbray, Leics. LE13 1GH.
