The Dorset Echo Job Fair is returning to Weymouth to bring together hundreds of job seekers with local employers. 

The next Job Fair will be on Thursday, March 23 from 10am to 3pm at Weymouth College and will be free for the public to attend.

The event is an excellent opportunity for employers to promote themselves in a face-to-face setting in what has become an incredibly competitive jobs market.

The Dorset Echo will be promoting the Job Fair in print and online across its titles, and on its regional recruitment website sw1.jobs.com – ensuring that the event attracts the best talent the local area has to offer.

The event traditionally brings together dozens of employers under one roof, across a wide range of sectors. Whether leaving education or changing careers, job hunters will be encouraged to come armed with CVs, ready to hand to would-be employers who interest them.

Angela Boyer, Marketing Solutions Account Manager at the Dorset Echo and associated titles, said: “The Dorset Echo Job Fair is a fantastic opportunity to meet candidates who are actively looking for work. We know that local employers have found the jobs market extremely challenging in the last few years and this will be a great platform to showcase what makes them as employers stand out from the crowd.

"Employers already looking to stand out from the crown include Habitat First/Silverlake, Weymouth College, Gungho Marketing, Atlas Electronik, St Judes Care and Dorset Police.

"With previous events attracting hundreds of visitors, there are plenty of opportunities to recruit on the day."

Jayne Barnes, the Head of Adult Skills at Weymouth College, said: "We are pleased to host the annual Dorset Echo Job Fair here at Weymouth College. As Weymouth’s local college, we work hard with our local community partners to provide real and timely opportunities to grow, upskill and rebuild career opportunities within Dorset.

"The Dorset Job Fair offers a fantastic opportunity to talk about a range of career and job roles directly with local employers. Our College teams also look forward to discussing with you, the variety of upskilling options available for adults including apprenticeships, online training, Multiply short numeracy courses and Green Skills courses, together with the range of job and career roles currently available here at Weymouth College."
