Iain McGowan, business network support officer at Southway, said: “We can’t wait for the event this Friday, where there will be so many opportunities for people either looking for work now, or wanting to know more about the support available for them when they are.
“Having secure employment is the best way to help ease the financial pressures we are all under at the moment. So it’s something we are really keep to help as many local residents with as possible.
“The number of local employers signing up to attend the event this Friday has been a hugely encouraging sign of the scope of roles currently available. I look forward to seeing people down there, and potentially walking away with a job afterwards!”
Everyone who attends the Southway summer jobs fest will be entered into a prize draw to win shopping vouchers. Goodie bags are available for all attendees, and refreshments will be on offer.
