THE Progressive Pathways Fair drew a huge attendance to The Rose Hotel on Wednesday offering a chance for people aged 16 or over with health issues, illness, disability or other support needs a chance to find out more about their employment options.
Hundreds passed through the doors throughout the day at the free event organised by Employability Kerry and the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection.
Over 30 stands offered information about supports from Department of Social Affairs, Kerry Education and Training Board, IT Tralee Disability Support Services, Assistive Technology, Kerry Down Syndrome, National Learning Network, Studio 3, Local Disability Support Services and many more. There was also many workshops and guest speakers.
Employers were also able to find out about supports and grants available at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection Stand. Scroll down for photos…
