“This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for employment or considering a new venture to access valuable face-to-face support.
“With teams on hand to provide advice, guidance and support, visitors can access the services they need and gain the tools and confidence to take their next steps.
“I would encourage anyone who is considering attending to take advantage of this great opportunity and to do so.”
