THOSE hoping to find work ahead of the busy Christmas period are invited to the Solihull Jobs Fair, taking place in Chelmsley Wood next week.
The event, being organised by Solihull Council, will showcase some of the temporary and permanent positions set to become available in the weeks and months to come.
For jobhunters there will a chance to meet some of those employers looking to recruit new staff.
Unemployment in Solihull has been steadily dropping in recent years, although there is still a disproportionate amount of people out of work in the north of the borough.
Figures for July show that there are 945 people claiming jobseekers' allowance in the three regeneration wards (Chelmsley Wood, Smith's Wood and Kingshurst & Fordbridge). This is equivalent to four per cent of the working age population.
Encouraging people to attend the event, Councillor Joe Tildesley, cabinet member for education, culture and skills, said: "Seasonal job opportunities can provide invaluable work experience, and they could turn into a full time position."
The fair is being held at The Loft, Chelmsley Wood Library, on Thursday (September 17). People can turn up from 9.30am-1.00pm and while there's no need to book, jobseekers are advised to bring a copy of their CV.
