Beating the Recession!
Local organisations have joined together to try and beat the recession by promoting quality jobs and training opportunities throughout Denbighshire and Conwy.
A free Jobs Event will take place at The Town Hall, Rhyl on Saturday 8 May 2010 from 10am -3pm.
Public sector and key local organisations will be raising awareness of local employment opportunities and apprenticeships and providing practical support for local people of all ages who are looking for work.
Organisations that will be represented include Conwy County Borough Council, Denbighshire County Council, Coleg Llandrillo Cymru, North Wales Police, and Pennaf Housing Group together with voluntary associations, JobCentre Plus, Careers Wales and other local key employers.
Members of the public can talk to employer representatives or attend workshops that will be running throughout the day. These will provide help and advice on how to get back into work, how to find that first important job, advice on the effect of employment on benefits plus information on apprenticeships.
Admission is free - so if you want to know about applying for jobs and what is available in the local area, then this is the place to be!
Any local employers with vacancies can either contact Lorna Lockwood, Personnel Assistant, Coleg Llandrillo Cymru, at l.lockwood@llandrillo.ac.uk or Jane Cater, Events Manager, Coleg Llandrillo Cyrmu at j.cater@llandrillo.ac.uk if they want a stand at the event or to forward their vacancy details for the jobs board.
A web site has also been developed for the Conwy Local Service Board www.conwylsb.org.uk which gives further information on employment and training opportunities.
This event is being funded by the Welsh Assembly Government Local Service Board Development fund and organised by Conwy and Denbighshire Local Service Boards.
