Councillor Debbie Andre, Cabinet member for education and lifelong skills, said: "I would encourage residents who are looking for employment, or anyone who wants to find out about the opportunities open to them across the Island, to come along to the free event.
"The fair brings together employers, employment support agencies and education and training providers to offer local people of all ages job opportunities, information and advice.
"There will be lots of information and guidance on offer whether you are looking for work, to upskill or retrain. The event is a great opportunity to speak face to face with training providers and you’ll have access to a range of support to help you on your career journey.”
