“The City Hall jobs fair is an opportunity to meet a large number of employers and training organisations all under one roof.

“As a Learning City we are always looking for ways to help people achieve their full potential. Learning new skills through training and apprenticeships is a great way to improve your career prospects.

“I would encourage people from all parts of the city to come along. If you’ve been out of work for a while or looking for a career change, come and speak directly to employers who can answer questions and provide advice.”
