THE Progressive Pathways Fair returns this year after a COVID enforced break since 2020 and it’s a great opportunity for people aged 16 or over, with additional support needs to find out more about their employment options.

The Fair — which takes place at The Rose Hotel on Wednesday, May 18, from 11am to 4pm — will have everything to inform those looking to progress to employment and further education and training, of all the options available to them.

This free event is organised by Employability Kerry and the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection.
