ReviewsWe held a jobs fair last year at Aston Villa Park. Here are a few reviews from people who attended.
“It was great, I got a job”.
“This was the third jobs fair I have attended in recent weeks and was by far the best.”
“I ended the day feeling a lot more positive about my future and now have avenues I can explore.” “It was well organised and there was a good mix of employment opportunities, advice on further training and CV "
“As I am currently at risk of redundancy, I found this job fairs provided opportunities for myself as the previous focused more on graduates and young people.”
“Having been to other job fairs in the past, I feel this one is the best so far. From when we arrived, the staff were very welcoming and spent time explaining what I could expect from the day.”
PhotosThere will be photos and videoing taking place whilst the event is happening. By signing up, you are agreeing to have your photo/video taken and used for future campaigns and marketing purposes.
