Recruitment, Training & Skills

Jobs Fair
 
We know it can be tough in the current climate to find and recruit the right staff for your business. In order to support employers and businesses we hold quarterly jobs Fairs and encourage as many businesses as possible to get involved. It provides the opportunity for you to speak directly with potential candidates and interview them on site?
 
Our next Jobs Fair is due to be held in September, if you would like to get involved or find out more, email the team at employmentandskills@tameside.gov.uk.
