The Peterborough Evening Telegraph
Grand response to careers fair
More than 1,000 job seekers in Peterborough were able to meet local employers, find out what support and training opportunities are available, and browse real jobs at a careers fair. Tackling Worklessness in Peterborough (TWIP) in partnership with The Jobcentre Plus hosted the Recruit 2016 jobs fair at Peterborough Town Hall. Thirty plus companies attended offering a selection of exciting vacancies from care workers to sales reps. TWIP incorporates local training, employment and support organisations and is led by housing association Cross Keys Homes, which sponsored the event. With more than 2,000 people on Jobseeker’s Allowance/Universal Credit in the city, the event was able to help many search for work or training opportunities quickly and conveniently.
