The Derry City Job Fair on Tuesday September 12th was a chance for individuals to chat to employers, learn about vacancies that exist in the Council area and enhance their employment prospects through practical advice and support.
The Job Fair was hosted by Department for Communities, Derry and Strabane Labour Market Partnership and Cross Border Partnership Employment Services (incorporating the Department of Social Protection, Ireland).
The Labour Market Partnership is a province-wide approach developed by the Department for Communities that creates targeted employment action plans for council areas and allows for collaboration at local and regional level to support people towards and into work
A second Job Fair will take place at the Alley Theatre in Strabane on Wednesday September 27th from Midday to 3pm.
