Severn Trent's Big Boost for Derby Jobs Fair

Severn Trent’s Big Boost for Derby is back!

Connecting you with jobs, employers, skills and support. This is more than just a traditional jobs fair.

We see you, Derby. We hear you.

You want tomorrow to be better than today, for you and the people around you. Whether you’re looking to get into work for the first time or need a change, Derby is full of new opportunities, new skills, new chances. So let’s bring everyone together to boost Derby’s potential.

We want everyone to have the best chance of success. And we’re right by your side. Plus, we’ve spoken to a few of our friends to help us out.

Take the next step at the Derby QUAD on Wednesday 19th November between 10am and 3pm.

You’ll find:

· Amazing employers who have live (full and part time) jobs available right now and at all levels and want to speak to you - so come prepared, be confident, and make a great first impression!

· The application window for our Grad and Apprenticeships opens again this November so we’ve put a spotlight on early careers – with additional stands and talks focused on Severn Trent’s graduate and apprenticeship opportunities and including details on what makes a great application!

· Training and skills providers for those looking for a change or simply interested in trying something new.

· Our very own experts offering live sessions on CV writing – so make sure to bring along a copy of your CV if you are interested in personalised feedback.

· Interview practice with VR headsets.

· Workshops on making great first impressions, preparing for your interview and CV top tips.

We’re all different in this city of many trades and faces. But we’ve got one thing in common – we want the best for each other and the communities where we live. And there’s nothing we can’t achieve if we all come together.

Why are Severn Trent doing this?

Derby is one of the biggest cities on our patch, and we love providing everyone with our wonderful water. We know how brilliant it is to live and work here too.

Our Big Difference Scheme is already doing a great job at supporting people with their water bills. But we want to do more for people in our communities. There are quite a few things we know about helping people into work and helping them move upwards. Plus, we know lots of other organisations who can help too.

Let’s do right by our water, our communities, and each other.

Here’s what’s lined up for the day’s workshops! Timings for Graduates and apprenticeship opportunities presentation to be confirmed soon.
