TWENTY jobs will be on offer at four Clare-based companies who are taking part in the Skillnet recruitment fair in Galway next month.
The fair, which is one of the first ever events of its kind to take place outside of Dublin, will feature representatives from 30 different companies based in the west of Ireland, with 300 jobs on offer between them.
Similar events in Dublin have drawn massive crowds with eager job seekers even camping outside the venue overnight to be first in the queue.
The event is free and will also include a number of workshops and seminars for job seekers as well as concrete jobs to apply for.
Ennis-based company Microsemi Ireland, is one of four Clare-based companies taking part in the event.
“Participation in the Skillnets jobs fair will provide Microsemi with an excellent opportunity to promote current job vacancies for our businesses in the West of Ireland,” said HR Director of Microsemi Ireland, Denise McCoy.
Skillnets CEO, Alan Nuzum, is encouraging Clare job seekers to take part in the jobs fair.
“This event is a real opportunity for job-seekers in the west to meet local companies with local jobs. There will be a range of jobs on offer in a variety of sectors including medical devices, IT, healthcare and financial services to name a few and we are encouraging all job-seekers to come along to this event to see what’s on offer and also to take the opportunity to access information on a diverse range of free training courses available locally through our networks,” he said.
“We offer training in technical skills, customer service skills, information technology, health and safety, communications skills, sales and marketing, social media, planning and strategy and finance.”
The jobs fair will take place Radission Blu Hotel in Galway on Sunday, October 14.
