The Economic Development Unit at South Holland District Council, in association with Jobcentre Plus, is inviting employers to the Women’s Institute Hall, Park Road, from 10am until 2pm.
The emphasis on the fair is to provide information on jobs and careers and to help people get 'job ready', assisting them with applications, CVs and issues such as getting to work.
Statistically Holbeach has the second highest rate of joblessness in Lincolnshire.
Economic development officers are planning more job fairs next year.
Economic Development Portfolio Holder, Councillor Howard Johnson said: “It is vital to the economic health of the district that we help people get into the workplace. By organising events such as this job opportunity fair, we help jobseekers, particularly the younger members of our communities, seek full-time employment.”
Jobcentre Plus Employer and Partnership Manager, Derrick Brown said: “We are pleased to be working with South Holland District Council to support local employers fill their vacancies, and at the same time help jobseekers find employment. This is an ideal opportunity for jobseekers to talk direct to employers who are currently recruiting. At the same time they can talk to a range of training and career guidance partners to look at what other training opportunities might be available locally to them”.
