Connecting visitors with leading employers

Among those attending was Amazon, Kier Group, Fox Resourcing & Recruitment, the Royal Navy, ISS Facility Services UK and North Northamptonshire Council, representing sectors including construction, recruitment, public services and facilities management. Amazon attracted particular interest from visitors on the day.

The event also brought together organisations working in areas such as care, education and employment support, giving visitors the chance to explore different career paths and speak to people working within those sectors.

Alongside employment opportunities, visitors could find out more about apprenticeships, T Levels, part-time courses and other training options, whether they were looking to gain new qualifications, develop existing skills or take a different career direction.

Tresham College also used the event to highlight the education and training available through The Bedford College Group, including routes for adults looking to return to learning or improve their employment prospects.

Cheryl Needham, Head of Adult & Community Learning at Tresham College, said:

“Working in partnership with Wellingborough Jobcentre Plus and North Northamptonshire Council, the event brought together hundreds of people from across our community to meet employers, explore career options and find out about the opportunities available to them.

“It was fantastic to see so many people taking steps towards their future, whether they were looking to start a new career, return to work or develop their existing skills.

“We are proud to support our local community by helping people access education, training and employment opportunities that can make a real difference to their lives.”
