With the support of the DWP, I will be joined by businesses across Edinburgh and Musselburgh for my first Job Fair designed to connect the many fantastic employers across the area with local job-seekers, to meet with businesses and discover new opportunities.
If you’re entering the job market, returning to work, shifting careers, or finding it hard to connect with support services, this fair is for you. It’s about face-to-face conversations with employers actively hiring, and personalised guidance on training, apprenticeships, benefits, and more.
The idea sprang from countless conversations with residents across Edinburgh East and Musselburgh—people who want to work but struggle to access the right paths. I spoke with the DWP and local businesses, and together we’ve created an event designed to deliver tangible results. The DWP will be on hand to explain benefit entitlements, job schemes, and training options—many of which people don’t even realise exist.
Attendance is completely free, and to ensure meaningful support, we’re asking participants to reserve a one-hour slot in advance. You can book online via Eventbrite—or get in touch with my constituency office if you’d prefer assistance.
All are welcome - if you are interested in coming along, please select and book a 1-hour slot! If you are an interested business, please do email me on chris.murray.mp@parliament.uk to confirm your attendance!
