Friday 7th September 2007

Wigan Jobs Fair is back.

Following the hugely successful Jobs Fair in January, Wigan Council is pleased to announce another event on Thursday September 20 at Wigan Investment Centre on Waterside Drive. The event, which is in partnership with Job Centre Plus will run from noon until 4 pm.

A number of employers looking to recruit will be there including: BHS, River Island, TK Maxx, Next, Hurleys, Argos, Wigan Council, I Care, The Army, Galloways Bakeries and Bents Garden Centre.

As well as employers, there will also be expert staff on hand with information about training programmes to help you improve your skills.

Councillor John O'Neill, Cabinet Champion for Regeneration and Deputy Leader of Wigan Council says: "These events give jobseekers the opportunity to talk directly to employers. Application forms for the posts will be available to collect and some interviews will even be conducted on the day.

"Everyone is welcome. Whether you are registered as unemployed, looking to return to work or looking for a career change, there will be a large selection of full-time, part time and seasonal job opportunities available to meet your needs.

"Through the Jobs Fair we held in January, nearly 600 people found their ideal job. This is proof that these type of events really work, so if you are looking for work, please come along and see the types of jobs on offer."
