Dover District Council :::
A jobs and skills fair, focusing on help, advice and careers information for young people, is coming to Tides Leisure Centre in Deal on Wednesday, 10 July 2024 from 11.30am-3pm.
Dover District Council, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the East Kent College Group and Your Leisure are teaming up to showcase job opportunities across the district, along with apprenticeships, training, and college courses.
Over 20 local employers are expected to exhibit, and a programme of workshops will offer advice, including CV and application writing and other practical support. Job seekers could even leave with a job offer* on the spot with some employers offering interviews on the day.
The event is free to attend and open to all. Employers interested in exhibiting at the event should contact Kerry-ann.miller@dwp.gov.uk

Maria Landers, Customer Service Leader, Dover and Canterbury Jobcentres, said:
“We’ve had a terrific response from local employers. We’ll be providing a range of practical help to help get local people into work and for some they could even walk away on the day with a job offer!”
