Braintree District Council held a Braintree Job Fair on Saturday 7 October, allowing residents to meet local employers and find out more about job opportunities in the area.
The event ran from 9.30-12.30 at Causeway House, attracting 175 attendees to meet over 20 local employers including Essex Police, Braintree Village, Bensons School of Motoring, Maycast Nokes Precision Engineering Ltd, eSmart Networks as well as local care homes and services.
The free event was the second to be run this year, allowing those of all ages to find out about apprenticeships, training, local job opportunities and careers.
In attendance to meet local employers was Braintree District Council Chairman Cllr Diana Garrod, Cabinet Member for Economic Growth Cllr Frankie Ricci and Cabinet Member for Planning and Infrastructure Cllr Gabrielle Spray.
Cllr Frankie Ricci, said: “Events such as these are a key opportunity to meet local employers and find out more about the job opportunities available nearby. It was inspiring to meet so many local businesses, old and new, who are providing employment in the district. Whether you’re looking for a new career, looking to start a career or just new opportunities in your chosen sector they are an excellent opportunity to network and find out what’s out there.”
