From roles in construction and pharmaceuticals to accounting and engineering, there were plenty of opportunities for the 150 job seekers at the recent job fair at Lurgan Town Hall.
The event was organised by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council’s Labour Market Partnership, in collaboration with the local Jobs and Benefits Office.
Funded by the Department for Communities, Labour Market Partnerships create targeted employment action plans for council areas, allowing for collaboration at local and regional level to support people towards and into work.
Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Councillor Sarah Duffy commented:
“This has been a wonderful event in connecting job seekers with employers and support agencies who are actively recruiting for a wide range of vacancies. Together they’ve been able to explore and discuss the different routes into employment, and in some cases, options for getting back into education and training. Council events such as this are incredibly important in bridging gaps in skills or learning within our local economy.”
The next job fair will be on Wednesday 26th March 2025 at Millenium Court Portadown, running from 10.30am to 1.30pm.
