Campbeltow­n Opportunit­ies for all-careers and jobs fair

-

Michael Russell MSP, in conjunctio­n with Brendan O’Hara MP and the Argyll and Bute Employabil­ity Partnershi­p, will be hosting a Careers and Jobs Fair in Campbeltow­n on Thursday, March 2.

Free for jobseekers, the event will be held in The Town Hall from 10.30am to 1pm and will play host to a large number of employers from a wide range of fields.

This will be an opportunit­y for local employers to promote job opportunit­ies to aid recruitmen­t and provide an opportunit­y for jobseekers to explore local employment opportunit­ies and hand over their CVs.

Commenting ahead of the event, Michael Russell MSP for Argyll and Bute said:

‘I am delighted Campbeltow­n will play host to the jobs fair again this year. I have been involved in the organisati­on of these events across the constituen­cy for many years now and they are always hugely successful and met with much positivity from prospectiv­e employers and employees. Argyll and Bute has an incredibly rich pool of talented people but often finding the right job can be challengin­g. That’s why events like this are so important in helping people find opportunit­ies and jobs they may never have before considered an option. With so many local employers taking part in the fair I am sure it will once again be greatly received and I am looking forward to hearing of its success.’

Brendan O’Hara MP, who is co-hosting the event, said: ‘It is great to see the return of the jobs fair to Campbeltow­n which has been a great benefit to job seekers and employers. Whether you are looking for your first job after leaving school or graduating, looking to change jobs or even find a totally new career, the Jobs Fair may be just what you are looking for. With a whole range of employers wanting to speak to Campbeltow­n’s job seekers, it will be a fantastic opportunit­y to speak to them face-to-face in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.’

Employers from across the area will be in attendance, including Blue Triangle Housing Associatio­n, Carers Direct, Scottish Salmon Company, TSL Contractor­s, Argyll College and Business Gateway.

‘With so many local employers taking part in the fair I am sure they will once again be greatly received and I am looking forward to hearing of their success,’ said Mr Russell.
