Eileen McGrinder,
Skills Project Officer at Derry City and Strabane
District Council said: “The fair will offer
jobseekers an invaluable opportunity to meet with
prospective employers from across Derry, Strabane
and Donegal to discuss and apply for actual jobs
which are currently available and ready to be
filled.”
Joe Lavery, EURES Cross Border Partnership Ireland,
N Ireland Coordinator added: “This year’s job fair
will showcase a range of employers and vacancies in
the North West cross border area and give jobseekers
as well as job changers from both jurisdictions the
opportunity to seize local, worthwhile
opportunities. We’re therefore looking forward to a
very successful event.”
Inviting jobseekers from throughout the North West
to attend this year’s event, Declan Doherty from the
Department of Employment Affairs and Social
Protection (DEASP) concluded:
“The Job Fair has something for everyone and I’d
therefore encourage anyone, whether in work,
unemployed or simply assessing education and
training options, to explore the wide-ranging
opportunities available on the day.
“Indeed, if you're in the market for a new career or
simply looking for the first step on the ladder,
this really is an unmissable event and the place
that you need to be.”
