Jobseekers and those looking to change career are invited to a special event in Melton Mowbray next week.
Melton Borough Council’s Parkside offices is hosting the Jobs Fair on Thursday October 2, giving residents an opportunity to connect with local employers, training providers and support services.

"Building on the success of previous events, we are pleased to be working with our partners at Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) once again to support our communities and local workforce.”
Councillor Sharon Butcher, portfolio holder for economic growth, town centre and leisure, added: “These events are a great chance for residents to connect with key organisations and for businesses to tap into the wealth of local talent.
"Working closely with the DWP, local employers and our partners we are helping to ensure people get the right support, grow in confidence, and discover more pathways into work.”
