The Job Show is coming back to Sunderland.

Hundreds of jobseekers flocked to the Stadium of Light in September for the first Job Show North East.

Noworganis­ers have unveiled plans to stage another event later this year.

The free-to-enter event, to be held at the stadium again between 10.30am and 3pm on Thursday, May 18, will showcase dozens of companies recruiting in a range of sectors and is sponsored by Make It Sunderland.

Sunderland City Council deputy leader Coun Harry Trueman said: “We are proud to be supporting the Job Show and are looking forward to the new employment it will help to create for the city and region.

“Sunderland’s fantastic, talented workforce has earned a UK-wide reputation for outstandin­g productivi­ty, loyalty and positive attitude. The Job Show approach gives thousands of jobseekers a unique opportunit­y to talk to many regional businesses and secure a new position.”

May’s event is the latest in a long line of Job Shows around the country that gather a region’s best employers, training providers, universiti­es, colleges, recruitmen­t agencies and organisati­ons to give jobseekers the perfect chance to showcase their talents to potential employers.

Director Victoria Clarke said: “There will be excit- ing job opportunit­ies on the day from some of the top recruiters in the North East as well as our dedicated Apprentice­ship and Training Centre, which will have on offer ‘live’ apprentice­ships, informatio­n and guidance in careers as well as workshops for jobseekers and profession­als”
