Kettering Recruitment, Skills and Careers Event

An exciting new initiative will be showcasing 100s of job opportunities in and around Kettering.

Being staged on Tuesday June 13th, the event will bring together the biggest and best employers in the area and help potential employees to understand the training pathways which are open to them towards new or more rewarding careers.

North Northamptonshire Council, Jobcentre Plus and Tresham College are putting together the largest event of this kind to have been staged for years. More will follow in coming months at the Tresham College Corby and Wellingborough campuses.

“This is a really exciting event for employers to meet 100s of people who are actively seeking opportunities and for people to talk to companies who are looking to invest in new talent,” 

said Cheryl Needham Head of Adult and Community Learning of Tresham College,

“Nearly 40% of people are in low-paid work but could develop their skills and step up the promotion ladder with the right encouragement. We want to welcome them to meet employers who are looking to help them achieve their full potential.”

Councillor David Brackenbury, North Northamptonshire Council Executive Member for Growth and Regeneration said: 

“The Council is a key partner in the Recruitment, Skills and Careers event and is proud to work with Tresham College and Jobcentre Plus.  As a key local employer, we offer a variety of quality job opportunities for all skills and levels in a trusted organisation that values its staff and customers. 

“In addition to this, as the local authority for the key growth area of North Northamptonshire, we provide a wide range of support for our fantastic business community, and are pleased to welcome and work with new businesses of all shapes and sizes, and those that are already well-established in the area.”

Adriano Cicceri, DWP Employer Adviser said: 

“Jobcentre Plus is delighted to be working collaboratively with North Northamptonshire Council and Tresham College to bring this innovative event to our customers and the residents of North Northamptonshire, so supporting the local community.”
