“There are over 400 current vacancies across a range of sectors including technology, office admin, accounts, hospitality, food production and tourism. People will have the chance to talk to employers directly about full time, part time, seasonal and remote jobs”.

Robert Carey, the manager of the NEWKD SICAP programme said; “it will be great to have so many employers under the one roof. This jobs fair will give people a chance to connect face to face with employers which gives people a better opportunity of finding something to suit their skills and interests”.

As well as being open to the public, Ukrainian refugees will be supported to attend the jobs fair by providing transport and translation services.

“At NEWKD, we have supported hundreds of people to return to work over the years,” said Elaine. “We know it can be intimidating to take the first step so there will be people available to welcome you on the day. We also have a Career Clinics section available on the day with advice and support from different agencies such as Social Welfare, Tralee Local Employment Service, Local Enterprise Office,  MTU and the Kerry College.”
