Some 20 local organisations are coming together next Wednesday 28^th September in a Jobs & Advice Fair aimed at helping people who are looking for work. 

The commercial, local government and voluntary sectors will all be represented, as well as those providing courses leading to the kinds of qualifications that prospective employers are looking for.

Coordinator of the event, Mrs Lesley Towl, a volunteer at the Worksop Work Club, said, “The world of work is often bewildering to people in search of jobs.  The Jobs Fair has been put together so someone looking for work can be put in touch with people who are offering jobs or with those who can help them find a job, including local Christmas work.  Others can give information about apprenticeships and training courses and support for people looking for work.” 

The Job fair will be staged at the District Council’s premises 73 Bridge Street from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.  Entrance is free.

Leader of Bassetlaw District Council, Graham Oxby, who will open the Fair said, “We are delighted to be able to  play a part in this community effort to tackle the problem of joblessness in Bassetlaw.  It is fitting that the Council’s facilities right in the heart of the Worksop Market are being used as a platform to focus attention on the range of ways available to find work as well as giving employers a chance to have face to face contact with jobseekers.”
