Tuesday 26th June 10.00-15.00 at Winter Gardens, Margate
On Tuesday The Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP, Minister for Employment, will be speaking at Thanet's first MPs' jobs and apprenticeships fair. The event organised and hosted by Thanet's two local Members of Parliament, Laura Sandys and Sir Roger Gale, will be held at The Winter Gardens in Margate from 10.00-15.00.
Laura said "With over 80 stands, whether you are interested in a career in tourism or marketing, retail or finance, we have something for everyone! For one day, The Winter Gardens will transform into Jobs 'R' Us; we have literally hundreds of jobs on offer- and all under one roof!
"While the response we've had so far has been overwhelmingly positive, we cannot ignore that unemployment is a real concern for us in Thanet; it was because of this that Roger and I first decided to organise this Jobs Fair. People have really been welcoming the idea and saying that they're pleased to see local representatives taking some practical action and doing something positive to tackle the problem. This is a project which has the capacity to transform lives.
"I have been encouraging our local businesses to take on an apprentice and last July, I even took on one myself. It's been a great year and both her and my team have all really benefited from her work in our office. With this in mind, I will also be at the fair with my own stand, hopefully helping another young person get their foot on that first rung of the career ladder."
Roger said: "We know that there are many people, of all ages, in Thanet who want to work or who want training or who want to change jobs. There are also, contrary to popular belief, many opportunities available as well and this fair is designed to bring the two together and to help to match would-be employers with would-be employees. While there are a number of agencies engaged in this process already experience shows that events of this kind really can make a difference and bring people together in a very positive way in a welcoming environment. So if you are a jobseeker looking for a break, come and join us".
