Larne To Host Job & Opportunities Fair
Larne will play host to a major Job & Opportunities Fair on Tuesday 19th February 2013.
The free event has been organised in partnership with the Department for Employment and Learning, Larne Borough Council, LEDCOM and Larne Development Forum. The venue for this event is the newly refurbished Larne Town Hall, Main Street, Larne from 2pm to 6pm.
The event is open to all who are unemployed and looking for employment, careers advice and/or training opportunities. Many employers and training organisations have already confirmed their attendance at the event, which will provide advice and guidance on current vacancies, training opportunities, careers advice, job search skills, job club taster sessions, seminars and much more.
Commenting at the launch of the Jobs & Opportunities Fair, Minister for Employment and Learning Stephen Farry said: "I welcome this event which brings employers, support organisations and jobseekers together under one roof. It demonstrates that my Department in partnership with Larne Borough Council, local employers and training organisations are working together to help jobseekers find the most appropriate route back into employment and employers recruit a skilled work force. As well as employers, there will also be a range of support organisations exhibiting at the event and offering a multitude of courses, programmes, advice and guidance including my Department’s Careers Service and Employment Service."
The Youth Employment Scheme is a voluntary programme. Young unemployed people who are in receipt of benefits may avail of two to eight week work experience placements where they can develop employability skills with no loss of benefits. Longer six to nine month work experience opportunities provides an opportunity to gain a qualification and young people will receive a benefit top-up of £45 a week. In addition there is an enhanced employer subsidy payable to employers who are in a position to offer unemployed young people aged 18-24 years old with a job that includes an element of training in priority sectors.
