Job fair to strengthen links and opportunities for local employers and job seekers

Melton Borough Council have joined forces with The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to co-host a jobs fair on Monday 23rd October for residents of the borough. This event is organised through the Work and Skills Project, which is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). 

Over ten local businesses and training providers from a range of work sectors such as retail, public sector, logistics and more, have already signed up to participate in the recruitment event to assist and match individuals to a range of vacancies on offer. People seeking employment will have the opportunity to speak directly with various employers, discussing available job vacancies as well as receive career advice and guidance. Services will also be on hand to look at CV’s, develop interview skills and some businesses will also be conducting interviews during the event.  

The event is free and open to everyone with no need to book in advance. It will be held at Melton Borough Council Offices, Parkside, Burton Street, Melton Mowbray LE13 1GH between 10am – 1pm on Monday 23rd October 2023. 

This event is especially suitable for those embarking on their career, struggling to secure employment or simply wanting to see what current opportunities are available.  

For any queries about the event, or, if you are a business or service and wish to book a stand at the event, please email workandskills-CSH@melton.gov.uk or call 01664 502 342 for more information.
