OVER 400 people braved the weather and visited the Progressive Pathways Fair in the Rose Hotel on Wednesday.
Organised by Employability Services Kerry, there were 24 different organisations available on the day which provided a great opportunity for people aged 16 or over, with additional support needs to find out more about their employment, training and education options.
Information on support services, workplace supports, social welfare, community employment schemes, educational courses and much more was available on the day.
