OPPORTUNITY knocks at Limerick’s LEDP Campus in Roxboro this Thursday (September 25) as the Southside Skills Fair opens its doors, offering a vibrant showcase of career, education, and training prospects across the Mid West.

The event gives jobseekers a chance to connect directly with over 30 employers, educators, and support agencies.

From cutting-edge technology firms and healthcare providers to apprenticeship programmes and community services, the fair brings together a diverse mix of organisations.

The fair will allow attendees to engage with employers or learn more about the apprenticeship and training pathways, providing a unique opportunity for communities to connect with local opportunities available in their area.

The event is part of the overall strategy within the Outreach to Employment Programme, led by Limerick City and County Council in Partnership with Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board, Technological University of the Shannon, and Limerick Enterprise Development Partnership.

Mayor of Limerick John Moran said he is delighted to see the latest part of the Outreach to Employment Programme coming to Roxboro.

“The skills fair is about unlocking potential and creating real connections between people and opportunity,” Mayor Moran said.

“It reflects our commitment to inclusive growth, where every community in Limerick has access to the tools, training, and support needed to thrive in today’s economy. This is now an opportunity for those on the Southside of our city and beyond, to engage with the numerous employers and educational bodies, which can help in the next steps of their career.”
