An event designed to encourage local businesses to employ local people comes to Crewe next month.
Jobs and careers fair ‘Just the Job’ will be held at MMU Cheshire in Crewe on Wednesday, April 6 from 1pm until 6pm.
Organisers are calling for companies to get involved and match their job vacancies to local people who are seeking to develop their careers or are keen to re-enter the jobs’ market.
The event is being organised by hosts Manchester Metropolitan University, South Cheshire Chamber, Cheshire East Council, Jobcentre Plus and Connexions.
It will include a free stall in the exhibitors’ market place to showcase businesses; opportunities to present businesses to prospective employees; advice on staff development and training and opportunity to develop and create networks with local companies and training organisations.
Councillor Jamie Macrae, Cabinet member with responsibility for prosperity, said: “In the past this event has proved a big success for both employees and local businesses. Exhibitors are offered a free stall and also get the opportunity to meet potential employees face-to-face.
“There will also be a host of business support agencies on hand and I would encourage any local companies interested to sign up. Events like this will help us grow and develop a sustainable Cheshire East.”
South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce manager, Paul Colman, said: “The Chamber welcomes the opportunity for any business, large or small, to not only present its recruitment opportunities to prospective employees but to also receive advice on staff development and training.”
Trevor Brown, business development manager at MMU Cheshire, added: “The university strives to meet the needs of local businesses and Just the Job fits perfectly with the university’s aims to work with local businesses, the public sector and the community.
“The event shows that local companies are supporting business growth in Cheshire East by employing graduates from their local university, retaining knowledge and expertise in the region.”
