Councillor Kirsty Hewens, Portfolio holder for Enterprise, Parking and Local Economy said

Rose Sulaiman, Employer Advisor for Weybridge Job Centre (DWP) said 

Job Fairs are a great platform for employers and providers to engage with the local community and connect directly with a ready pool of potential candidates. Likewise, it provides the valuable opportunity for jobseekers to speak directly with a diverse range of employers to explore available vacancies, training and available support too - all in one place!
