The Tameside Job Fair held this spring successfully welcomed hundreds of people through the doors. Local employer Sterling Finance Ltd recruited two members of staff at the Spring Jobs Fair and endorsed the event saying they will be attending again this Autumn; “Tameside Spring Jobs Fair proved to be a huge success for us as part of the recruitment process. It was great to meet and engage with prospective candidates in person – it really works!”

Councillor Dave Sweeton, Tameside Council Executive Member for Inclusive Growth, Business and Employment, said: “It’s great to see so many employers on board. These events are important in both supporting local businesses with recruitment challenges as well as helping residents to secure work and boost their income in these challenging times. The diverse range of jobs and training on offer provides the perfect opportunity for someone looking to start or change their career.”
