MORE than 50 companies will be laying out their stalls as part of a recruitment fair in Shannon.
Shannon Chamber, in collaboration with the Department of Social Protection and the Local Authority Integration Team (LAIT), is hosting the fair as part of the Department’s annual Work and Skills Campaign.
The fair, which takes place in Building 7000 at the Westpark Innovation Campus in Shannon on Tuesday March 3 from 10.00am to 1pm has already attracted the attention of over 50 companies.
The event will provide a platform for employers to connect with prospective employees, showcasing a wide range of opportunities across multiple sectors.
Companies signed up to attend are from sectors including aviation, engineering, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, recruitment, financial services, insurance, public sector organisations, and education.
Shannon Chamber said the fair will be a chance for jobseekers to meet employers face-to-face and explore career options, while enabling businesses to engage with skilled and motivated candidates actively seeking employment in the region.
Shannon Chamber CEO Helen Downes said the business representative organisation “would also encourage secondary schools and universities to raise the profile of this event. While meeting employers at an event like this allows for meaningful discussions, it also creates awareness of what employers do business-wise which can be of tremendous benefit for anyone deciding on a career direction.”
Employers with open vacancies are encouraged to send a list of available positions to Shannon Chamber at [email protected], and to have a company representative on-site to speak with prospective candidates.
Employers are invited to register vacant positions on jobsireland.ie prior to the event to allow the positions to be simultaneously advertised nationally, and European wide on the EU portal (eures.europa.eu).
EURES officer Cathy Moran will host an online lunch briefing for employers attending the fair to brief them on EURES and the benefits of using this portal for recruitment needs.
A sign language interpreter will be available at the event to assist attendees who require additional support.
