EMPLOYMENT opportunities in Clare will be highlighted when over 300 jobs go on offer at the Western Development Commission’s Look- West.ie Expo on Thursday.
Last year’s event attracted over 500 visitors, all of them interested in working and living in the west. This year there will be a strong emphasis on the benefits of starting or expand- ing a business to the western region with a seminar on the supports avail- able and case studies of companies successfully operating in the west.
Commenting on the event, WDC chief executive Gillian Buckley said
that since the launch of the Look- West.ie campaign in November 2004, there were over 350,000 visits to the LookWest.ie website.
“Our partners from Clare County Council and Clare County Develop- ment Board, Enterprise Ireland, FAS and Shannon Development will be at the Expo to tell entrepreneurs how they can help those thinking of set- ting up a business in Clare.”
The Expo at the Alexander Hotel, Merrion Square, Dublin 2, starts at noon on Thursday and goes on all day until 9pm to give those at work the chance to attend. It’s open to individuals and companies and it’s free.
