Education and training are absolutely crucial to unlocking opportunities and achieving the satisfaction and security of a fulfilling job. With unemployment falling steadily over the last few years, there are more people in work than ever before. Hundreds of people in the Fareham area have benefited, as the economy continues to recover.
But it can be difficult to find a job or the right training if you don’t know what opportunities are out there, if you haven’t been in work for some time, or if you’re looking to change direction.
That’s why I am organising an Apprenticeship and Training Fair at Fareham College in February to give people looking to take the next step towards a career an opportunity to meet and speak to local employers and training providers.
The purpose of this Fair is to put these two groups together in an event that I hope will be full of energy and enthusiasm.
It will give local businesses and job seekers the opportunity to showcase themselves to one another in person. There will be work groups to help job seekers with CV writing and tips on winning at interview.
This Fair will be for anyone, whatever age, from school and college leavers to those already in work who are looking to improve their skills and employment prospects, or to change jobs and enhance their working career.
Real jobs for real people will be advertised on the day, alongside training programs and apprenticeship schemes.
I do hope this event will be useful to you and I look forward to meeting many of you on the day.
