There will be over 60 stands with employers from major sectors including:

• Construction / Rail
• Health
• Transport
• Hospitality
• Retail
• Education

Advice and support will be available for everyone no matter your age or circumstances: whether you’ve just left school or college, or have been affected by redundancy, need help to connect with self-employment support, or are currently unemployed or seeking a career change.

Disabled access is available to all areas.

Light refreshments (tea, coffee, sandwiches, crisps etc.) can be purchased at the event on the day.

Time Slots

We request that you book a 1-hour time slot so that we can maintain safety standards. You can book up to 2 people on your time slot (everyone that wants to attend needs to book a ticket). We will allow extra time for interview /1-2-1s/registrations, as these are held in a different room. If you pick a time slot and it's fully booked please try another time slot.

We expect the event to be popular so residents who have booked a time slot will be given priority over walk-ins on the day.

Reviews

We held a jobs fair last year at Aston Villa Park. Here are a few reviews from people who attended.

“It was great, I got a job”.

“This was the third jobs fair I have attended in recent weeks and was by far the best.”

“I ended the day feeling a lot more positive about my future and now have avenues I can explore.” “It was well organised and there was a good mix of employment opportunities, advice on further training and CV and interview workshops.”

“As I am currently at risk of redundancy, I found this job fairs provided opportunities for myself as the previous focused more on graduates and young people.”

“Having been to other job fairs in the past, I feel this one is the best so far. From when we arrived, the staff were very welcoming and spent time explaining what I could expect from the day.”
