"We would encourage anyone looking for work or career advice to pay us a visit.
"The event is set up to help everyone in the district, not just those unemployed but anyone thinking of changing jobs or career and want a little inspiration and advice on what is out there.”
The recruitment day will be attended by several training providers to support people into the available jobs, including CT skills, Portland training and Work & Skills Leicestershire, who can support people with their CV writing skills.

Councillor Rob Bindloss, the borough council’s portfolio holder for growth and prosperity, said: “The council, along with our key partner DWP, has a shared vision to support local businesses and residents to meet their full potential.
"The borough has a strong and diverse business base, and events such as these provide opportunities to not only enhance our local business support offer, but to maximise benefits for our residents, especially during these economically challenging times.
"By encouraging residents to work locally, thus reducing the need for extensive travel to work, the event will also support our climate change agenda.”
